, Dimension of Heterogeneity (CLAN)
, Since we detected some heterogeneity in both the take-up and the intent-to-treat, we perform the CLAN. If the dimensions of heterogeneity differs between ?(X)
, then we can conclude that there is some heterogeneity in the condiof characteristics, suggesting heterogeneity in the conditional LATE. In particular, for the public program, there are more individuals targeting managerlevel positions amongst the least likely to enter, although they are not particularly overrepresented amongst the "low-responders" in terms of ITT. The unskilled and high-school dropouts are over-represented among the least likely to enter
