EducationAverage Effect Size (AES) Quality IndexingCombining multiple peer quality indicators (mean college entrance exam scores, dropout rates, remedial programs, matriculation fees) into an AES index revealed that voucher winners attended schools with statistically significant lower observable peer quality across academic indicators.Observational StudyLabour & employmentFeasibility-Constrained Programme AggregationProgram aggregation eliminated demographic choice-set restrictions (such as native language requirements), increased sample sizes per category to maintain statistical estimation power, and aligned algorithmic choices with operational local course availability.Observational StudyEconomics (general)Frequentist Variance Bounding in Adaptive TrialsBounded the worst-case standard error of estimated average treatment effects at $\sqrt{2\lambda} = 0.05$ (equivalent to 80% power for detecting effect sizes of 0.124), resulting in an actual empirical standard error bound of 0.016 in the trial.RCT
