Economics Paper 10 Pages(Due In 24 Hours)

Paper 1: First Draft

Use the results from the first two homework assignments, what you have learned in class and from reading the papers and textbook for the course to answer the following questions. Did assigning a person to get an encouraging phone call increase their probability of voting? Can we get an estimate of the causal effect of getting a call encouraging you to vote on your probability of voting with non experimental data by using regression to adjust for differences between people who got a call and those that didn’t (why or why not)? Be clear on what is going wrong.
