| contents | In a binary-treatment instrumental variable framework, we define supercompliers as the subpopulation whose treatment take-up positively responds to eligibility and whose outcome positively responds to take-up. Supercompliers are the only subpopulation to benefit from treatment eligibility and, hence, are important for policy. We provide tools to characterize supercompliers under a set of jointly testable assumptions. Specifically, we require standard assumptions from the local average treatment effect literature plus an outcome monotonicity assumption. Estimation and inference can be conducted with instrumental variable regression. In two job-training experiments, we demonstrate our machinery's utility, particularly in incorporating social welfare weights into marginal-value-of-public-funds analysis. |
