The Econometrics of Social Networks

Abstract

In turn, the agents' attributes and their behavior affect the formation and the structure of the social network. We survey the econometric literature on both aspects of social networks and discuss the identification and estimation issues they raise.Social network, peer effects, identification, network formation, pair-wise regressions, separability, mutual consent
