Estimation and Inference for Peer Effects under Conditional Random Assignment
Ying Zeng
Empirical studies of peer effects often exploit conditional random assignment to peer groups within urns. We develop a GMM framework for estimation and inference in this setting. T…

Differential Test Performance and Peer Effects
Guido Kuersteiner, Ingmar Prucha, Ying Zeng
We use variation of test scores measuring closely related skills to isolate peer effects. The intuition for our identification strategy is that the difference in closely related sc…

Efficient Peer Effects Estimators with Group Effects
Guido M. Kuersteiner, Ingmar R. Prucha, Ying Zeng
We study linear peer effects models where peers interact in groups, individual's outcomes are linear in the group mean outcome and characteristics, and group effects are random. Ou…
