Social Interactions in Schooling

No 335, Econometric Society 2004 North American Winter Meetings from Econometric Society

Abstract: We exploit the 1980 earthquake in southern Italy and the subsequent relief from mandatory military service granted to all males in the regions hit by the seism to estimate the strength of endogenous social interactions in schooling achievements. Preliminary results point to a significant and strong effect of interactions not mediated by markets
