We study both endogenous and exogenous peer effects in worker productivity using an explicit network approach. We apply … this method to data from an in-house call center of a multinational mobile network operator that include detailed …-worker networks …

In a novel real-effort setting, we experimentally study the effects of different communication media on creative performance in a collaborative tasks. We find that creative performance significantly decreases when group members communicate via chat instead of face-to-face. However, we find no...

We explore network effects on generosity for different network dimensions. To this end we elicit multiple network … generosity with a sequence of dictator games conducted in the field. We find that networks of different dimensions differ … substantially in density, clustering, and centrality. When relating generosity to networks we observe that social distance only …

Although the linear-in-means model is the workhorse model in empirical work on peer effects, its theoretical properties are understudied. In this study, we develop a social-norm model that provides a microfoundation of the linear-in-means model and investigate its properties. We show that...

We develop and estimate a theory-consistent gravity model for interregional migration flows in the presence of unemployment. Micro-founded in a setting where search friction regulates labor market transitions, we derive a migration gravity equation for bilateral mobility that embodies a...
