What if you randomly assigned half the youth on the list to a treatment group who was offered the opportunity to participate in the program? If you compared the average income after the program among those offered the opportunity to participate to the average income among those randomly assigned to the control group, what would your estimate of the treatment effect of the program be?
(e) Suppose that the true impact of the program is to increase participant's income by 2 dollars per week. If you compared the average income (after the program) among those who participate to the average income of those who do not participate, what would the difference be? (So, this question is talking about the difference in actual observed incomes, not incomes in the absence of the program.)
