Template assessment

The source gift-exchange specification uses post-gift rounds and multiple randomized gift arms with baseline output as a covariate; it is not the template’s binary-adoption design.

No comparison point or homogeneity-test decision is assigned to this paper.

The source regression was re-estimated on 892 observations before this assessment.
