  2. Average treatment effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Average_treatment_effect

    In a randomized trial (i.e., an experimental study), the average treatment effect can be estimated from a sample using a comparison in mean outcomes for treated and untreated units. However, the ATE is generally understood as a causal parameter (i.e., an estimate or property of a population ) that a researcher desires to know, defined without ...

  5. Local average treatment effect - Wikipedia

In one example, Angrist (1989) [16] attempts to estimate the causal effect of serving in the military on earnings, using the draft lottery as an instrument. The compliers are those who were induced by the draft lottery to serve ...
