A Two-stage Inference Procedure for Sample Local Average Treatment Effects in Randomized Experiments
随机实验中样本局部平均处理效应的两阶段推断
In a given randomized experiment, individuals are often volunteers and can differ in important ways from a population of interest. It is thus of interest to focus on the sample at hand. This paper focuses on inference about the sample local average treatment effect (LATE) in randomized experiments with non-compliance. We present a two-stage procedure that provides asymptotically correct coverage rate of the sample LATE in randomized experiments. The procedure uses a…
