Random Assignment with Nonrandom Peers
Efforts to leverage peer effects by changing assignment have often fallen short due to endogenous peer choice. To address this, I build a two-part model: agents form networks via continuous linking decisions; conditional on realized networks, outcomes are determined. I provide results on identification of both parts of the model. Using data from a randomized study in India, I estimate the model, assess its performance in out-of-sample prediction,…
Name Your Friends, but Only Five? The Importance of Censoring in Peer Effects Estimates Using Social Network Data
Empirical peer effects research often employs censored peer data. Individuals may list only a fixed number of links, implying mismeasured peer variables. I first document that censoring is widespread in network data. I then introduce an estimator and characterize its inconsistency analytically; an assumption on the ordering of peers implies that censoring causes attenuated peer effects estimates. Next, I demonstrate the effect of censoring in two…
Design, Construction and Maintenance
Inappropriate design, poor construction, and improper homeowner maintenance were leading factors in home moisture damage to houses studied in one southern state in the U.S. Additional factors were inadequate building codes, violation of building codes, and inadequate specifications and standards of materials and components. Data from two state regulatory agencies were studied to (a) learn the proportion of houses with moisture damage, and (b) ide…
