Identification of Peer Effects through Social Networks

Bramoullé, Yann; Djebbari, Habiba; Fortin, Bernard - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2007

We provide new results regarding the identification of peer effects. We consider an extended version of the linear … cases, we provide easy-to-check necessary and sufficient conditions for identification. We show that endogenous and … exogenous effects are generally identified under network interaction, although identification may fail for some particular …

Stigma of welfare participation is important for policy and survey design, because it deters program take-up and increases misreporting. Stigma is also relevant to the literature on social image concerns, yet empirical evidence is scant because stigma is difficult to empirically identify. We use...

Homophily and Transmission of Behavioral Traits in Social Networks

Bhargava, Palaash; Chen, Daniel L.; Sutter, Matthias; … - 2022

Social networks are a key factor of success in life, but they are also strongly segmented on gender, ethnicity, and other demographic characteristics (Jackson, 2010). We present novel evidence on an understudied source of homophily, namely behavioral traits. Behavioral traits are important...

Better Together? Social Networks in Truancy and the Targeting of Treatment

Bennett, Magdalena; Bergman, Peter - 2018

Truancy correlates with many risky behaviors and adverse outcomes. We use detailed administrative data on by-class absences to construct social networks based on students who miss class together. We simulate these networks and use permutation tests to show that certain students systematically...
