Cruces, Guillermo; Tortarolo, Dario; Vazquez-Bare, Gonzalo - 2024

We develop a framework to analyze partial population experiments, a generalization of the cluster experimental design where clusters are assigned to different treatment intensities. Our framework allows for heterogeneity in cluster sizes and outcome distributions. We study the large-sample...
