A Structural Model of Segregation in Social Networks
In this paper, I develop and estimate a dynamic model of strategic
network formation with heterogeneous agents. The main theoretical result
is the existence of a unique stationary equilibrium, which characterizes
the probability of observing a specific network in the data. As a
consequence, the structural parameters can be estimated using only one
observation of the network at a single point in time. The estimation is
challenging, since the exact evaluation of the likelihood function is
computationally infeasible even for very small networks. To overcome
this problem, I propose a Bayesian Markov Chain Monte Carlo algorithm
that avoids the direct evaluation of the likelihood. This method
drastically reduces the computational burden of estimating the posterior
distribution and allows inference in high dimensional models. I present
an application to the study of segregation in school friendship
networks, using data from Add Health. The latter contains the actual
social network of each student in a representative sample of US schools.
My results suggest that for White students, the value of a same-race
friend decreases with the fraction of whites in the school. This
relationship is of opposite sign for African American students. The
model is used to study how different desegregation policies may affect
the structure of the network in equilibrium. I find an inverted U-shape
relationship between the fraction of students belonging to a racial
group and the expected equilibrium segregation levels. These results
suggests that these policies should be carefully designed in order to be effective
