Juvenile Delinquency and Conformism

Patacchini, Eleonora; Zenou, Yves - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2009

This paper studies whether conformism behavior affects individual outcomes in crime.

We then bring the model to the data by using a very detailed...

Mismatch, Transport Mode and Search Decisions in England

Patacchini, Eleonora; Zenou, Yves - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2003

We develop a theoretical model in which whites mainly use private vehicles to commute whereas non-whites use public transportation. We show that, for whites and non-whites, higher (time) distance-to-jobs leads to lower search effort. Because of different transport modes, we also show that, at...

Multivariate Choice and Identification of Social Interactions

Cohen-Cole, Ethan; Liu, Xiaodong; Zenou, Yves - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2012

In this paper, we investigate the impact of peers on own outcomes where all agents embedded in a network choose more than one activity. We develop a simple network model that illustrates these issues. We differentiate between the ‘seemingly unrelated’ simultaneous equations model where...

Student Networks and Long-Run Educational Outcomes: The Strength of Strong Ties

Patacchini, Eleonora; Rainone, Edoardo; Zenou, Yves - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2012

The aim of this paper is to investigate and understand the effect of high-school friends on years of schooling. We develop a simple network model where students first choose their friends and then decide how much effort they put in education. The empirical salience of the model is tested using...
