Design-Based Estimation and Central Limit Theorems for Local Average Treatment Effects for RCTs
随机对照试验中局部平均处理效应的设计型估计与中心极限定理
There is a growing literature on design-based methods to estimate average treatment effects for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) using the underpinnings of experiments. In this article, we build on these methods to consider design-based regression estimators for the local average treatment effect (LATE) estimand for RCTs with treatment noncompliance. We prove new finite-population central limit theorems for a range of designs, including blocked and clustered RCTs,…
