Correcting for Selective Compliance in a Re-Employment Bonus Experiment

  • Geert Ridder

Abstract

We propose a two-stage instrumental variable estimator that is consistent if there is a selective compliance in the treatment group of a randomized experiment and the outcome variable is a censored duration The estimator assumes full compliance in the control group We use the estimator to reanalyze data from the Illinois re-employment bonus experiment
