Tiivistelmä: | Aggregated data is often used to make inferences about individual level behavior. If there are social interactions in which one person's actions influence his/her neighbor's incentives or information, then these inferences are inappropriate. The presence or positive social interactions, or strategic complementarities, implies the existence of a social multiplier where aggregate relationships will overstate individual elasticities. A brief model is presented and the size of social multiplier is estimated in three areas: 1) the impact of education on wages, 2) the impact of demographies on crime and 3) group membership among Dartmouth roommates. |
