The estimation of the causal effect of an endogenous treatment based on an instrumental variable (IV) is often complicated by the non-observability of the outcome of interest due to attrition, sample selection, or survey non-response. To tackle the latter problem, the latent ignorability (LI) assumption imposes that attrition/sample selection is independent of the outcome conditional on the treatment compliance type (i.e., how the treatment behaves as a function of the instrument), the instrument, and possibly further observed covariates. As a word of caution, this note formally discusses the strong behavioral implications of LI in rather standard IV models. We also provide an empirical illustration based on the Job Corps experimental study, in which the sensitivity of the estimated program effect to LI and alternative assumptions about outcome attrition is investigated.

ZusammenfassungDie Bekämpfung der Arbeitslosigkeit ist eines der wichtigsten Ziele der Wirtschaftspolitik. Jährlich wenden Industrienationen beträchtliche Summen an Geldern für Arbeitsmarktprogramme auf. Laut einer vergleichenden Aufstellung der OECD entsprachen im Jahr 2015 die Ausgaben für aktive Arbeitsmarktprogramme in Deutschland beispielsweise 0,6 % des Bruttoinlandsprodukts (BIP) und in Frankreich 1 % des BIPs. Vor dem Hintergrund dieser hohen Kosten sind belastbare Auswertungen, die die Wirkung der Programme evaluieren, von immenser Bedeutung. Die Autoren der vorliegenden Studie evaluieren dabei insbesondere den Effekt der Dauer eines Arbeitsmarktprogramms.Flores, Carlos A., Alfonso Flores-Lagunes, Arturo Gonzalez, und Todd C.
