Spillovers in criminal networks : evidence from co-offender deaths

Lindquist, Matthew J.; Patacchini, Eleonora; … - 2024

We study spillover effects within co-offending networks by leveraging deaths of co-offenders for causal identification. Our results demonstrate that the death of a co-offender significantly reduces the criminal activities of other network members. We observe a decaying pattern in the magnitude...

Towards a general theory of peer effects

Boucher, Vincent; Rendall, Michelle; Ushchev, Philip; … - 2023

There is substantial empirical evidence showing that peer effects matter in many activities. The workhorse model in empirical work on peer effects is the linear-in-means (LIM) model, whereby it is assumed that agents are linearly affected by the mean action of their peers. We develop a new...
