Experimental or Quasi-Experimental Study

How the application of the designs differ

For the purpose of this study, an experiment was carried out which was conducted after proper parameters and procedures are defined. This helped the study to be effective and the observations were used appropriately (Lei, at.al, 2010).

The Sampling: Rationale and Techniques

In the first year, 96 subjects were selected for this study. Recruitment posters were distributed in the university and participation was done by each and every study session.

Data Collection Techniques

A computerized experiment was conducted known as Ztree software at the Institute for Empirical Research in Economics at the University of Zurich. Different experiments with different parameters were conducted.

Levels of Measurement of the Variables

The following variables were measured in the study (Lei, at.al, 2010):

Relief amount

Project Success rate

Creditor's expected payoff

Creditor's expected payoff

Number of observations

Types of statistics used to analyze the Data and Generate Results

Tests such as mean and standard deviation, results of GLS random-effects models, spearman rank correlations for individual debtors were used in the study. This helped to compare the variables and ensure that the results are accurate.

Inferences that can be drawn from the Results

According to the results of the study, debt relief should be provided to the people so that they can work in a manner in which the creditors are able to get profits of the amount that is invested.

Special Considerations: Validity, Reliability, Generalizability

When the experiment was conducted, it was seen that the experiment is reliable and the data is credible. This was ensured by generalizing the data and also by assuring the results.
