Interesting finding. Eric, Ebonya and myself, Brunner et al. 2011 did find that experiencing Economic shocks changed political beliefs over a broad set of issues so dispositions can change - look at recent role of inflation, but gov't action may not change views.

AEA at submission asks about pre-analysis plan if submitting an RCT based paper. But surprisingly never asks the author to upload the pre-analysis plan. So, it is up to the co-editors or the referees to dig these up. It should be standard for the plan to be sent to the referees along with the paper.

Looks like a very interesting paper. It reminds me a bit of the Air Force Academy experiment Carrell, Sacerdote, West where the modified squadron test score distribution to help weaker peers, which backfired apparently due to an increase in within squadron isolation.
How do we form networks in school? Trying to pair socially isolated kids with popular kids in school can actually backfire. Palaash is doing really creative work on the role of networks in a range of contexts (development, labor). Check out his work!
