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...

Although the linear-in-means model is the workhorse model in empirical work on peer effects, its theoretical properties are understudied. In this paper, we investigate how social norms affect individual effort, aggregate effort, and welfare. While individual productivity always positively...

We study a strategic model of community formation on networks. Starting from a seed community member, the process of community formation is sequential, with infinitely-patient and forward-looking agents making strategic offers to their neighbors. Each agent makes an irreversible binary choice,...

This paper studies the question of entry in the circular city model when the pre-entry market structure involves local monopolies. In contrast with Salop (1979), we show that the unit profit rate of incumbent monopolists is strictly positive and bounded above. The upper bound decreases with the...

networks form, the impact of network structure on agents' outcomes, and the evolution of networks over time. For this purpose …, we combine a network game introduced by Ballester et al. [2006], where the Nash equilibrium action of each agent is … proportional to her Bonacich centrality, with an endogenous network formation process. Links are formed on the basis of agents …
