Job contact networks and the ethnic minorities (2010, background): “…range of countries have emphasized the popularity of using friends and family as a job search mechanism and indicate that they are an effective mechanism for obtaining job offers (Rees, 1966; Granovetter, 1974, 1995; Blau and Robins, 1990; Topa, 2000; Bentolila et. al, 2004; Wahba and Zenou, 2004).”
NEIGHBORHOOD EFFECTS: ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND LOOKING BEYOND THEM* (2010, neutral): “Topa (2001) analyzes a structural model of transitions into and out of unemployment to estimate the impact of any local social interaction effects on employment outcomes.”
Institutions and geography: Empirical test of spatial growth models for European regions (2009, background): “Glaeser et al. (1996) show that the variance of crime across space can be explained by social interactions, while Topa (2001) points out that local interactions in the labour market cause the unemployment rates to be spatially correlated, due to the exchange of information within the social network.”
Referral-Based Job Search Networks (2016, neutral): “One way how information can be exchanged within networks is among potential employees, by informing each other about job opportunities (see, for example, models by Topa, 2001, and Calvó-Armengol and Jackson, 2004, 2007).”
Matching and network effects (2010, neutral): “Similar ideas have been discussed in the context of job markets by Topa (2001) and in the context of international trade by Casella and Rauch (2002).”

(2000).”
Estimation of Sample Selection Models with Spatial Dependence (2012, background): “In turn, to obtain consistent and fully efficient estimates, one has to deal with multidimensional 1Some examples are Case (1991), Fishback, Horrace and Kantor (2006), Topa (2001), among many others.”
