To: Labor Studies
From: David Autor and Alex Mas
The Labor Studies program for the Summer Institute will again feature
a session devoted to methodology, organized by Patrick Kline on
Thursday July 26th. This summer's theme will be the empirical study
of networks. Network data provide new opportunities to study
interactions between economic agents but also present difficult
obstacles to statistical inference. We seek both state of the art
applied contributions illustrating the empirical analysis of network
data and papers providing new econometric methods for estimation and
inference in network settings. As in past years, we hope for an
active dialogue across fields.
As a reminder, here is the SI 2018 call for papers:
