Treatment effects

Consumers

(a) \(E\left( {Y_{1i} {|}C = 1} \right)\)

(b) \(E\left( {Y_{2i} {|}C = 1} \right)\)

ATT

Non-consumers

(c)\(E\left( {Y_{2i} {|}C = 0} \right)\)

(d) \(E\left( {Y_{1i} {|}C = 0} \right)\)

HC2

\(TH = ATT - ATU\)

  1. (a) and (d) represent observed expected cricket yields; (c) and (d) represent counterfactual expected cricket yields; Y1i = cricket yield if the cricket consuming households; Y2i = cricket yield if the cricket non-consuming households; ATT = the average effect of the treatment (consumption) on the treated; ATU = the average effect of the treatment (consumption) on the untreated; HC = the effect of base heterogeneity for cricket consumers (i = 1), and non-consumers (i = 2); TH = ATT-ATU, i.e., transitional heterogeneity
