Neighborhood Choice and Neighborhood Change1 (2006, background): “These models are useful for understanding phenomena in which the characteristics of the environment and the behavior of the individuals who constitute that environment are dynamically interdependent (Durlauf 2001).”
Inﬂuentials, Networks, and Public Opinion Formation (background): “Following an extensive literature that encompasses sociology (Granovetter 1978), economics (Blume and Durlauf 2003; Brock and Durlauf 2001; Durlauf 2001; Schelling 1973; Young 1996), social psychology (Latane´ and L’Herrou 1996), political science (Kuran 1991), marketing (Goldenberg, Libai, and…”
The (mis)estimation of neighborhood effects: causal inference for a practicable social epidemiology. (2004, background): “32Durlauf (Brock & Durlauf, 2002; Durlauf, 2001) extends Manski’s work and notes a few sufficient conditions for identification of nearly endogenous effects.”
Complexity and Empirical Economics (2005, background): “Neither paper formally models neighbourhood membership and subsequent behaviour as a joint process, so each may be neglecting important information with respect to identifying neighbourhood effects; see Brock and Durlauf (2001b; 2003) for further discussion.”
Contagious development: Neighbor interactions in deforestation (2012, background): “We studied one of the key processes 10 We follow the standard normalization assumption that the variance of the privately observed shocks, σ, is one as in Brock and Durlauf, 2001.”
What Do Randomized Studies of Housing Mobility Demonstrate? (2006, background): “In the American context, where schools are locally financed, Bénabou (1993, 1996) and Durlauf (1996) constructed formal models of neighborhood choice and human capital formation, showing how interdependence can generate persistent (especially intergenerational) social immobility.”
On the Empirics of Social Capital (2002, unknown): “Growth regressions of the type found in the studies of Table 3 have been subjected to very serious methodological criticisms; examples include Brock and Durlauf (2001b), Durlauf (2000), Durlauf and Quah (1999), and Temple (2000).”
