Multiple unordered treatments with a binary instrument for each treatment are common in policy evaluation. This multiple treatment setting allows for different types of changes in treatment status that are non-compliant with the activated instrument. Therefore, instrumental variable (IV) methods have to rely on strong assumptions on the subjects{\textquoteright} behavior to identify local average treatment effects (LATEs). This paper introduces a new IV strategy that identifies an interpretable weighted average of LATEs under relaxed assumptions, in the presence of clusters with similar treatments. The clustered LATEs allow for shifts across treatment clusters that are consistent with preference updating, but render IV estimation of individual LATEs biased. The clustered LATEs are estimated by standard IV methods, and we provide an algorithm that estimates the treatment clusters. We empirically analyze the effect of fields of study on academic student progress, and find violations of the LATE assumptions in line with preference updating, clusters with similar fields, treatment effect heterogeneity across students, and significant differences in student progress due to fields of study.\

METHODS: A total of 2253 children aged 6.0-11.0 years were assessed: 49.3\% girls and 50.7\% boys. Children{\textquoteright}s weight and height were measured, age and sex-specific BMI cut-off points were used to define normal vs overweight/obesity. Children{\textquoteright}s organized sports (OS) activity was assessed by questionnaire, and local facilities for children{\textquoteright}s engagement in OS were analyzed. Logistic regression models were computed, adjusted for confounding variables. RESULTS: Results showed greater overweight and obesity (25.1\% vs 20.1\%) and lower OS engagement (66.5\% vs 73.8\%) in girls as well as greater impact of OS engagement on weight status in girls (OR for having a normal weight = 1.434 in girls vs 1.043 in boys). Additionally, opportunities to engage in OS were scarce for girls. CONCLUSIONS: The gender gap in children{\textquoteright}s weight status and OS engagement might be enhanced by an environmental mismatch that undermines girls{\textquoteright} opportunities to play sports. There should be more opportunities for girls to engage in their favorite sports as a means to tackle the obesity epidemic and to promote gender equality.}, keywords = {*Environment, Child, Female, Humans, Male, Overweight/epidemiology/etiology, Pediatric Obesity/*epidemiology/etiology, Portugal, Regression Analysis, Sex Factors, Youth Sports/*statistics \& numerical data}, isbn = {1520-6300 (Electronic)
