    Policy design in experiments with unknown interference

    This paper studies experimental designs for estimation and inference on policies with spillover effects. Units are organized into a finite number of large clusters and interact in unknown ways within each cluster. First, we introduce a single-wave experiment that estimates the marginal effect of a change in treatment probabilities, taking spillover effects into account. Using the marginal effect, we propose a policy
