Analyzing Social Experiments as Implemented: A Reexamination of the Evidence from the HighScope Perry Preschool Program
No full textSocial experiments are powerful sources of information about the effectiveness of interventions. In practice, initial randomization plans are almost always compromised. Multiple hypotheses are frequently tested. "Significant" effects are often reported with p-values that do not account for preliminary screening from a large candidate pool of possible effects. This paper develops tools for analyzing data from experiments as they are actually implemented. We apply these tools to analyze the influential HighScope Perry Preschool Program. The Perry program was a social experiment that provided preschool education and home visits to disadvantaged children during their preschool years. It was evaluated by the method of random assignment. Both treatments and controls have been followed from age 3 through age 40. Previous analyses of the Perry data assume that the planned randomization protocol was implemented. In fact, as in many social experiments, the intended randomization protocol was compromised. Accounting for compromised randomization, multiple-hypothesis testing, and small sample sizes, we find statistically significant and economically important program effects for both males and females. We also examine the representativeness of the Perry study.social experiment, compromised randomization, early childhood intervention, multiple-hypothesis testing

Diplomatic visits of commodore M. Perry to Liu Chui island in 1852 and 1853 and its international repercussions
No full textThe article highlights the diplomatic mission of the American Commodore M. Perry to Liu Chui Islands, during the large-scale military expedition of the US Navy Fleet to Japan in 1852 – 1853. The publication of official documents related to the mission of M. Perry, memoirs and travel notes of the members` of that expedition were used as the information source. The author believes that the main purpose of Perry’s visit to Liu Chui Island was dictated by the desire to open the Island to American trade, and in the prospect, to bring the Island into subjection of the US protectorate. Perry has used a range of methods to implement these tasks, from pure diplomacy to direct pressure using the armed assault. As a result, the Commodore succeeded, and the Island, despite the protests of the local authorities in 1853, was opened to foreign trade. This action allowed US to become the second of the most powerful countries in East Asia after the United Kingdom. The process of establishing the contacts between the leader of the expedition and the local authorities of the Island has been examined, as well as the conducted negotiations during the first (1852) and second (1853) Perry`s visits to the capital of the archipelago – the city of Nappa, which resulted in opening this Island to Western trade. For a long time the local governor has been dragging out the negotiations process, but he had to agree to the US’ terms, after the US marines seized his palace up. The United States had an opportunity to trade on Liu Chui Island, purchase the coal for their ships, so as they got freedom of movement across its territory. However, after two decades, the United States abandoned the claims to the Islands. The reasons for this are to be investigated by the author in his following research works
