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...
