Shouldice Hospital in Canada is widely known for one thing-hernia repair! In fact, that is the only operation it performs, and it
performs a great many of them. Over the past two decades this small 90-bed hospital has averaged 7,000 operations annually. Last
year, it had a record year and performed nearly 7,500 operations.
A hernia repair operation at Shouldice Hospital is performed by one of the 12 full-time surgeons assisted by one of seven part-time
assistant surgeons. The first operations begin at 7:30 AM each day, Monday through Friday. Surgeons generally take about one hour
to prepare for and perform each hernia operation, and they operate on an average of at most four patients per day. This four patient
per day limit on the average number of operations performed per surgeon has been found to be the best operating level for the
hospital as it takes into account time the surgeons need for patient exams and consultations, updating medical charts, writing reports,
traveling to…
Which is the relationship between the local average treatment effect (LATE) and the treatment on the treated (TOT)? Can you identify the conditions for these two measures to coincide?

- Economic Epidemiology Suppose that some members of a population are infected with a sexually transmitted virus that causes disease X, and some are infected with another sexually transmitted virus that causes disease Y. Some members of the population may be infected with both viruses. While diseases X and Y are similar in that they are both sexually transmitted diseases, the disease X is much more harmful to its carriers than the disease Y is to its carriers. Condom use is highly effective in preventing the transmission of either disease. Suppose scientists discover a cure for the sexually transmitted disease X. This cure (a vaccination) will eliminate the virus causing the disease X from its carrier before its carrier can suffer any harm from the virus. Everybody is immediately given this vaccination against the disease X. a What do you expect to happen to the prevalence of the virus causing the disease X in the population?
