Econometric Aspects of Social Networks

Mariano Matilla-García and Jesus Mur

A chapter in Complex Networks and Dynamics, 2016, pp 65-91 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter aims to show why and how is it possible to use econometric analysis tools to the empirical study of social networks, what are the current technical limitations and the open challenges, and what are the theoretical (micro)economic underpinnings of the (few) recent econometric models that serve to analyze social interactions in form of networks, neighborhoods, and groups. The chapter tries also to devise the links between the recent econometric literature (identification and estimation) on networks and the literature in spatial econometrics.
