We do not require to specify a model for how the selection of peers comes about. Rather, we exploit two restrictions that are inherent in many such specifications to construct conditional moment conditions. The restrictions in question are that link decisions that involve a given individual are not all independent of one another, but that they are independent of the link decisions made between other pairs of individuals that are located sufficiently far away in the network. These conditions imply that instrumental variables can be constructed from leave-own-out networks. date: 2023-08 date_type: published publisher: Elsevier id_number: 10.1016/j.jeconom.2022.10.004 official_url: http://tse-fr.eu/pub/127414 faculty: tse divisions: tse keywords: Instrumental variable keywords: linear-in-means model keywords: network keywords: self-selection language: en has_fulltext: TRUE doi: 10.1016/j.jeconom.2022.10.004 subjectsJEL: JEL_C31 view_date_year: 2023 full_text_status: public publication: Journal of Econometrics volume: vol. 235 number: n° 2 pagerange: 1203-1214 refereed: TRUE issn: 0304-4076 oai_identifier: oai:tse-fr.eu:127414 harvester_local_overwrite: pending harvester_local_overwrite: subjectsJEL harvester_local_overwrite: creators_idrefppn harvester_local_overwrite: abstract harvester_local_overwrite: creators_id harvester_local_overwrite: id_number harvester_local_overwrite: issn harvester_local_overwrite: publisher harvester_local_overwrite: title harvester_local_overwrite: note harvester_local_overwrite: creators_halaffid harvester_local_overwrite: hal_id harvester_local_overwrite: hal_version harvester_local_overwrite: hal_url harvester_local_overwrite: hal_passwd harvester_local_overwrite: number harvester_local_overwrite: volume oai_lastmod: 2024-03-13T13:02:40Z oai_set: tse site: ut1 hal_id: hal-04164668 hal_passwd: nadezt hal_version: 1 hal_url: https://hal.science/hal-04164668 citation: Jochmans, Koen (2023) Peer effects and endogenous social interactions.
