Rationale for Field Experiments
A study is conducted by analyzing pre-existing government data to determine if there is a correlation between the introduction of a new public transit line and changes in local employment rates. This study qualifies as a field experiment because it examines economic behavior in a real-world setting.
A team of economists is designing a field experiment to test whether providing free tutoring services improves the final exam scores of university students. Arrange the following key steps of their research process into the correct logical order.

Learn After
In a field experiment, a group of daycare centers introduced a small monetary fine for parents who arrived late to pick up their children. Contrary to expectations, the number of late-arriving parents increased after the fine was implemented. Which of the following statements best analyzes the underlying reason for this outcome?
Evaluating Unintended Consequences of Fines
Applying Social Preference Theory to Policy Design
The 1998 field study in Israeli daycare centers concluded that introducing a monetary fine for late-arriving parents was an ineffective policy primarily because the financial penalty was too small to meaningfully impact parents' budgets.
Analyzing Behavioral Responses to Incentives
A community organization is considering two different policies to encourage desired behaviors from its members. Match each policy with its most likely behavioral outcome, based on an understanding of how different types of incentives can interact with social norms.
In a well-known field experiment, daycare centers introduced a monetary fine for parents who were late to pick up their children. Counterintuitively, the rate of late pickups increased. This result indicates that the fine transformed a social norm of punctuality into a market-based transaction, where parents felt they were now paying for an additional ____.
A famous 1998 field experiment studied the effect of introducing and then removing a fine for parents who were late picking up their children from daycare. Arrange the following phases of the experiment and their observed outcomes in the correct chronological order.
