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 micro foundation of the linear-in-means model and investigate its properties. We show that...

This paper presents a Schelling-type checkerboard model of residential segregation formulated as a spatial game. It … shows that although every agent prefers to live in a mixed-race neighborhood, complete segregation is observed almost all of … the time. A concept of tipping is rigorously defined, which is crucial for understanding the dynamics of segregation …

Local interactions refer to social and economic phenomena where individuals' choices are influenced by the choices of others who are close to them socially or geographically. This represents a fairly accurate picture of human experience. Furthermore, since local interactions imply particular...
