12. Method of Testing What would success look like?
What evidence would you gather to determine the level of success?
How would you determine if the policy had a universal impact across all regions, demographics, and age.
Would you use federalism? Apply plan on only certain states, local regions, cities (these would serve as your treatment group) and compare to areas that don’t use the plan/act (control group).
Note: To make this work the treatment group and control group need to be as identical as possible.
