People I Know: Job Search and Social Networks (2012, background): “…is unaffected by such a difficulty because we are not interested in the causal effect of group achievements on the same contemporaneous individual outcomes (as, e.g., in Bertrand et al. 2000; Duflo and Saez 2003; Calvo-Armengol, Patacchini, and Zenou 2009; De Giorgi, Pellizzari, and Redaelli 2010).”
Young Adults Living with Their Parents and the Influence of Peers (2018, unknown): “De Giorgi et al. (2010), and Patacchini et al. (2017) exploit information on the overall network of friendships, and instrument the behaviour of the respondent’s friends using the characteristics of friends of friends who are not linked directly to the respondent.”
Identification and Estimation of Spillover Effects in Randomized Experiments (2017, methodology): “…ensure identification of γ and δ, such as exploiting the variation generated by partially-overlapping groups (Bramoullé, Djebbari, and Fortin, 2009; De Giorgi, Pellizzari, and Redaelli, 2010), using variation in group sizes (Lee, 2007; Davezies, D’Haultfoeuille, and Fougère, 2009) or combining…”
The Analysis of Field Choice in College and Graduate School: Determinants and Wage Effects (2015, unknown): “Notable exceptions include Sacerdote (2001) and De Giorgi et al. (2010). Using data from Dartmouth college and exploiting the random assignment of roommates among Freshmen, Sacerdote (2001) finds no evidence of peer effects on college major choice. This finding contrasts with De Giorgi et al. (2010)”
Gender segregation in higher education: an empirical test of seven explanations (2019, unknown): “We are aware of some case studies reporting that students are more likely to choose a given field if their classmates do the same (De Giorgi et al. 2010; Ost 2010), but we could not find any empirical test of the explanatory contribution of peer effects to GSHE.”
Social Learning and Incentives for Experimentation and Communication (2018, background): “…for the spread of information in a variety of contexts, including educational choices (Bobonis and Finan, 2009; Carrell and Hoekstra, 2010; De Giorgi et al., 2010; Duflo et al., 2011; Garlick, 2012), financial decisions (Duflo and Saez, 2003; Banerjee et al., 2013; Burzstyn et al., 2014;…”
A Structural Model of Segregation in Social Networks (2010, background): “1For example, see the contributions of Topa (2001); Laschever (2009); Cooley (2010); De Giorgi et al. (2010); Nakajima (2007); Bandiera and Rasul (2006); Conley and Udry (forthcoming); Golub and Jackson (2011); Acemoglu et al. (2011).”
Heterogeneous peer effects in education (2014, unknown): “23 This is also related to the empirical study of De Giorgi et al. (2010) which shows that students from Bocconi University in Italy are more likely to choose a major if many of their peers make the same choice.”
