This is such an important point that often gets ignored from a policy perspective. I think one way of making meaningful headway is to lean into sociological responses and be wary of policy recommendations based on the actual level of randomization.

1/ 🤔 Ever wondered if pairing socially isolated students with popular peers helps or hurts their outcomes? My job market paper explores this through a large-scale RCT across Indian schools. Thread below 🧵 #EconSky #EconJobMarket #JMP
