This is Matt Steger, one of the economists on Raj's team.
He says the first explanation was that, yes, Hope Six was causing the good results.
And for Raj and Matt and the other researchers, this presented a real problem because it wasn't random who moved into the new Hope 6 housing.
Economists call this selection bias.
It was possible that the reason kids in Hope 6 were doing better as adults was, like Matt said, just that they were always going to do better, no matter where they lived.
The team had data on how long people lived in Hope Six developments as kids.
And it turned out you saw a way bigger impact on the kids who were there for a long time versus just a year or two.
You could see that dosage idea in the data.
Yeah, maybe those families who left super quickly were somehow less stable.
And that was why their kids saw less benefit than the kids and families who stayed put.
And this is where they made this move in the research that is honestly just so clever.
I'm going to give it like official planet money tip of the hat.
So what they did is they went ahead and compared the dosage effect within families by looking at siblings who both lived in Hope Six housing, but for different amounts of time.
Because if it was about just improving the physical housing itself, you'd want to put all your money into that.
Or if it was about the whole mixing incomes idea, you know, just do that.
Or maybe it was about some third thing that they weren't even thinking of.
And Matt was like, huh, what if we went back over our data and grouped Hope 6 developments according to how well off the neighborhoods around them were?
And they were even able to show that the Hope Six kids really were interacting more with the more well-off kids.
They were more connected to each other on Facebook and more likely to live together as adults.
So it's not the architecture, it's like who you're interacting with.
