Sintesi	Heterogeneous treatment effect IV applies instrumental variables estimation while explicitly acknowledging and modelling that the treatment effect differs across units. Rather than recovering a single average effect, it focuses on the Local Average Treatment Effect (LATE) — the causal effect for compliers, the subpopulation whose treatment status is actually shifted by the instrument — and extends analysis to variation in that effect across observed subgroups.	The Local Average Treatment Effect is an instrumental-variable estimand, introduced by Imbens and Angrist (1994) and formalised with Rubin (1996), that recovers the average treatment effect for the subpopulation of compliers — units whose treatment status is actually moved by the instrument. It is closely tied to compliance analysis.
