I’ve spent the last couple days reading RCT studies from criminology. Almost all restrict analysis to compliers & program-completers, instead of using random assignment as treatment or IV.
Remember: just because it’s an RCT doesn’t mean results are unbiased. Read the paper.https://twitter.com/amitabhchandra2/status/1075931428322492417 …

Yikes. What is the stated motivation? One (generous) possibility: seems similar to, but not exactly like, coefficient stability across alt. samples (ala sequential exclusion) to rule out leverage points. But a random sample of endogenously treated units does not an RCT make.

No stated reason. I think they just like the word “random”.

Unless data collection on a particular outcome is costly, so one only collects on a random sub sample?

Definitely not the case in these contexts. Usually using admin data w N in the 100s.
