Source design and template applicability
Subdistricts are randomized to incentivized, nonincentivized or control block-grant arms. The indicator-pooled health/education effects remain experimental; key analysis inputs are unavailable.
No DiD estimates, uncertainty intervals or homogeneity-test decision were computed in this tranche. No point is added to the calibration plots. This is not a zero effect or a failed statistical test.
Recorded treatment-column measurement
Data unavailable.
Analysis datasets required by 131228-tables_final.do are not deposited; treatment assignments cannot be read from benchmark tables.
These are the existing data-measured counts, not counts inferred from design labels. A binary instrument, group indicator or interaction component need not be the treatment of interest; the source-design assessment above takes precedence for template applicability.
Replication status
This tranche: unsupported design; source code/documentation inspected, no estimator run.
Supplied library: rebuild_required; verification: no scalar DiD target; preparation: needs_restricted_data. These are the library’s labels, not new verification claims. Missing data and unsupported designs are separate issues.
Evidence and provenance
The following files in the supplied library were inspected. Their SHA-256 digests are recorded in the downloadable assessment JSON. Source archives and microdata are not redistributed.
