Σύνοψη	Heterogeneous Treatment Effect Fuzzy RDD extends the standard fuzzy regression discontinuity design — where treatment probability, not treatment status itself, jumps at a threshold — by examining whether the Local Average Treatment Effect (LATE) estimated at the threshold differs systematically across subgroups defined by covariates such as gender, socioeconomic status, or prior ability. It combines the instrumental-variable logic of fuzzy RDD with structured heterogeneity analysis.	Instrumental variables (IV) is an econometric method to estimate causal effects when treatment or exposure is not randomly assigned and confounding is severe or unmeasured. IV relies on a third variable (instrument) that influences treatment but does not directly affect the outcome, allowing researchers to isolate the causal effect from the noise of confounding. Developed extensively in econometrics (Angrist & Pischke, 1990s–2000s), IV methods are increasingly used in health economics and health services research to leverage natural experiments and policy changes.
