Inference can also be based on the treatment randomization (e.g.http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8804140), no superpopulation needed. Randomization-based hypothesis tests would be done on village-level estimates, and confidence intervals calculated by inverting the tests. There is, of course, extra information about individual households that can be mined. The village-to-village contamination that Ole reports is a problem for which I have no advice.

I'm running a randomized trial. 23 villages do not get treatment. So there's not complete correlation between interested and treatment. 23 villages do get treatment, which is an offer to participate in a microfinance intervention. Interest was elicited in all village prior to randomization. The regression is supposed to give the intent-to-treat estimate and I could IV for the effect of treatment on the treated, except that I have contamination. Best, Ole
