EducationInstrumental Variables Estimation for Experimental Non-ComplianceRandomly assigned teacher effectiveness translated into actual teacher effectiveness at a rate of 0.293 (first stage) due to non-compliance. The IV coefficient of actual teacher effectiveness on student test achievement was 0.955 (p < 0.01, SE = 0.123), proving that a 1-unit predicted difference caused a statistically equivalent ~1-unit actual achievement gain.RCTMethods & evidenceInstrumental Variable Estimation under One-Sided Non-ComplianceIV estimates proved that downloading predictions had zero statistically significant impact on short-term caseworker compliance (estimates ranged from -0.05 to +0.03 across specifications, all statistically insignificant).RCT
