We conducted a field experiment with 1,080 senior medical students who participated in the National Resident Matching Pr…
Stepping up during a crisis

Becoming eligible for the program during the crisis increased the probability that households had a week's worth of food stocked by 25% and decreased the probability of going hungry by 40%. Although the program was not designed to provide emergency assistance, it provided uninte…

Combining administrative and population census data in a difference-in-differences framework, we …
