This paper provides a framework for identifying preferences in a large network where links are pairwise stable. Network formation models present difficulties for identifi cation, especially when links can be interdependent: e.g., when indirect connections matter. We show how one can use the...

Given data on a large network, this paper provides a framework for identification of preferences under the assumption of pairwise stability of network links. Network data present difficulties for identification, especially when one allows for links between nodes in a network to be...
