We conduct a large scale RCT to investigate peer effects in computer assisted learning (CAL). Identification of peer … effects relies on three levels of randomization. It is already known that CAL improves math test scores in Chinese rural … with high performers. We test whether CAL treatment reduces the dispersion in math scores relative to controls, and we find …

We examine how machine learning can be used to improve and understand human decision-making. In particular, we focus on … released. This is a promising machine learning application because it is a concrete prediction task for which there is a large … results suggest that while machine learning can be valuable, realizing this value requires integrating these tools into an …
