We design and implement an adaptive experiment (a ``contextual bandit'') to
learn a targeted treatment assignment policy, where the goal is to use a
participant's survey responses to determine which charity to expose them to in
a donation solicitation. The design balances two competing objectives:
optimizing the outcomes for the subjects in the experiment (``cumulative regret
minimization'') and gathering data that will be most useful for policy
learning, that is, for learning an assignment rule that will maximize welfare
if …
