This paper provides a novel approach to identifying and performing inference on the utility parameters of a network formation model with payoff externalities using observed network data. The existence of externalities induces an issue of multiple …
The command netivreg implements the Generalized Three-Stage Least Squares (G3SLS) estimator developed in Estrada et al. (2020), On the Identification and Estimation of Endogenous Peer Effects in Multiplex Networks) and the Generalized Method of …
This paper proposes a new method to identify and estimate the parameters of the popular Linear-in-Means model of social effects in situations where initial randomization of peers induces the observed network of interest. We argue that the initially …
This paper proposes a new method to identify and estimate the parameters of an extension of a linear model of peer effects where individuals form different types of social and professional connections that can affect their outcomes. A stylized model …
