Nonparametric IV Estimation of Local Average Treatment Effects with Covariates

Frölich, Markus - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2002

In this paper nonparametric instrumental variable estimation of local average treatment effects (LATE) is extended to incorporate confounding covariates. Estimation of local average treatment effects is appealing since their identification relies on much weaker assumptions than the...
