Termnology: Always-takers D 0 = D 1 = 1, so D = 1 regardless of Z Never-takers D 0 = D 1 = 0, so D = 0 regardless of Z Complers D 0 = 0; D 1 = 1, so D = Z Under heterogeneous treatment effects, havng not only complers but also defers would cause a problem. Defers: D 0 = 1; D 1 = 0, so D = (1 Z ). We need monotoncty for an nterpretable Local Average Treatment Effect when there are heterogeneous treatment effects: ether D 1 D 0, or D 1 D 0.
