We use a purposely-designed survey on Sri Lankan immigrants living in Milan to study their personal network. By taking … a dyadic perspective we investigate how migrants form (weak and strong) social links among them in the host country, and … the extent to which this network provides them material support along three different dimensions: accommodation, credit …

We show that the more central … minority agents are in the social network, the more they assimilate to the majority culture. We also show that denser networks … tend to favor assimilation so that, for example, it is easier to assimilate in a complete network than in a star …

In this paper, we examine possible types of network formation among immigrants in the diaspora and between those … immigrants and the new society in their host country. Spread of migrants from the same origin in the diaspora may well increase … network structure on the country of origin, such as on international trade. We find that when the size of the diaspora is …

We use de-identified data from Facebook to study the social integration of Syrian migrants in Germany, a country that … received a large influx of refugees during the Syrian Civil War. We construct measures of migrants’ social integration based on … relative rate at which they befriend local Syrian migrants versus German natives (relative friending). We follow the friending …

causal identification of peer effects depends on the structure of the network itself. In the absence of correlated effects …, the reflection problem is generally solved by network interactions even in non-linear, heterogeneous models. By contrast … correlated effects and network endogeneity in particular. We classify these approaches in four broad categories: random peers …
