Identifying Peer Effects in Student Academic Achievement by Spatial Autoregressive Models with Group Unobservables (2010, background): “The group fixed effects term in the model captures the effects of the common variables faced by the same group members—both observed and more importantly, unob- 1 For example, Gaviria and Raphael (2001) specify peer groups by school, and Hanushek et al. (2003) by grade.”
New Evidence about Brown v. Board of Education: The Complex Effects of School Racial Composition on Achievement (2009, background): “This could happen if, for example, the rate at which current learning builds upon past knowledge varies across the skill distribution or the structure of the available tests leads to systematically higher gains in classrooms that focus on material emphasized on tests (see Bacolod and Tobias (2006), ”

Peer Effects in Microenvironments: The Benefits of Homogeneous Classroom Groups (2014, background): “…recently, a large set of empirical peer effects studies leverage variation in peer groups at the classroom or school level to estimate peer effects ðHanushek et al. 2003; Angrist and Lang 2004; Arcidiacono and Nicholson 2005; Hoxby and Weingarth 2006; Lyle 2007; Ammermueller and Pischke 2009;…”

Peer Effects in the Workplace (2017, neutral): “We can also observe all workers in each firm, which allows precise calculation of the average peer group characteristics and ensures that our findings are representative of both the firms and the workers.”

Estimating the Causal Effect of Social Capital: A Review of Recent Research (2006, methodology): “…to the basic intuition about peer effects (i.e., that they should be upwardly biased because of sorting).7 The Texas microdata that Hoxby (2000) and Hanushek et al. (2003) use are obviously quite remarkable and allow them to estimate models and obtain results that, if taken together, are much…”
Peer Effects in European Primary Schools: Evidence from Pirls (2006, neutral): “…(26 – 100), enough to fill two bookcases (101 – 200), enough to fill three or more bookcases (more than 200).1 In order to form a single measure of students’ background, after some experimentation, we chose a simple index which assigns 1 to the lowest category (0 – 10), and 5 to the highest…”
