Template assessment

The source estimates repeated randomized income shocks to household members, not a one-time absorbing adoption. First-shock recoding would change the experiment.

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

The source regression was re-estimated on 898 observations before this assessment.
