I am wondering when and why one may calculate the Average Treatment Effect on the Treated (ATT) or the Average Treatment Effect on the Control (ATC). Is there a specific example or motivation for when one would be interested in these quantities versus the Average Treatment Effect (ATE)? Thanks

What are some examples when the Average Treatment Effect on the Treated/Control (ATT,ATC) is more sought after than the ATE?
