Inside the "black Box" of Project STAR : estimation of peer effects using experimental data
Boozer, Michael A.; Cacciola, Stephen E. - 2001
The credible identification of endogenous peer group effects - i.e. social multiplier or feedback effects - has long eluded social scientists. We argue that such effects are most credibly identified by a randomly assigned social program which operates at differing intensities within and between...
