  61. Instrumental variables: LATE (MHE Chapter 4.4) Consider a randomized trial with imperfect compliance (as in JTPA). Terminology: • Always-takers D 0 i = D 1 i = 1, so D i = 1 regardless of Z i • Never-takers D 0 i = D 1 i = 0, so D i = 0 regardless of Z i • Compliers D 0 i = 0; D 1 i = 1, so D i = Z i Under heterogeneous treatment effects, having not only compliers but also defiers would cause a problem. • Defiers : D 0 i = 1; D 1 i = 0, so D i = (1 − Z i ). We need monotonicity for an interpretable Local Average Treatment Effect when there are heterogeneous treatment effects: either D 1 i ≥ D 0 i ∀ i , or D 1 i ≤ D 0 i ∀ i .
