Shibata, Ippei - 2020
This paper proposes a hidden state Markov model (HMM) that incorporates workers' unobserved labor market attachment into the analysis of labor market dynamics. Unlike previous literature, which typically assumes that a worker's observed labor force status follows a first-order Markov process,...

Cities and the structure of social interactions : evidence from mobile phone data
Büchel, Konstantin; Ehrlich, Maximilian von - 2017
Social interactions are considered pivotal to agglomeration economies. We explore a unique dataset on mobile phone calls to examine how distance and population density shape the structure of social interactions. Exploiting an exogenous change in travel times, we show that distance is highly...

Linear social interactions models
Blume, Lawrence E.; Brock, William A.; Durlauf, Steven N.; … - 2013
This paper provides a systematic analysis of identification in linear social interactions models. This is both a theoretical and an econometric exercise as the analysis is linked to a rigorously delineated model of interdependent decisions. We develop an incomplete information game that...
