Problem: Getting teachers to come to school. Elementary schools in rural India are usually small, with a single teacher. The teachers often fail to show up for work. Here is an idea for improving attendance: give the teacher a digital camera with a tamper-proof time and date stamp and ask a student to take a photo of the teacher and class at the beginning and end of the day. Offer the teacher better pay for good attendance-verified by the photos. Will this work? A randomized comparative experiment started with 120 rural schools in Rajasthan and assigned 60 to this treatment and 60 to a control group. Random checks for teacher attendance showed that 21% of teachers in the treatment group were absent, as opposed to 42% in the control group.

Required:

(i) Outline the design of this experiment.
