	abstract = {The local average treatment effect (LATE) may differ from the average
treatment effect (ATE) when those influenced by the instrument are not
representative of the overall population. Heterogeneity in treatment effects
may imply that parameter estimates from 2SLS are uninformative regarding
the average treatment effect, motivating a search for instruments that
affect a larger share of the population. In this paper, I present and
estimate a model of home production with heterogeneous costs and benefits to
fertility. The results indicate that a sex-preference instrument in Taiwan
produces IV estimates closer to the estimated ATE than in the United States,
where sex preference is weaker.},
