Overview of the Effects of Social Experiments on Health Outcomes by Policy Domain^a

^aNo effect indicates a confidence interval that crosses 0 or P ≥.05. In Panel A, 451 estimates come from the 61 studies that compose our sample: 153 estimates in the early life and education domain, 45 in the income supplementation and maintenance domain, 52 in the employment and welfare‐to‐work domain, 110 in the housing and neighborhood domain, and 91 in health insurance domain. In Panel B, the 86 estimates are from those studies that are adequately powered (power ≥ 80%) to detect a health effect: 22 estimates in the early life and education domain, 3 in the income supplementation and maintenance domain, 13 in the employment and welfare‐to‐work domain, 7 in the housing and neighborhood domain, and 41 in the health insurance domain.
