Abstract

In a binary-treatment instrumental-variables framework, we define supercompliers as the subpopulation whose treatment takeup positively responds to eligibility and whose outcome positively responds to takeup. Supercompliers are the only subpopulation to benefit from treatment eligibility and, hence, are of great policy interest. Given a set of jointly testable assumptions and a binary outcome, we can completely identify the characteristics of supercompliers. Specifically, we require the standard assumptions from the local average treatment e
