• Identification of Peer Effects through Social Networks (2009, unknown): “One key challenge for the empirical literature on peer effects is to identify what drives the correlation between outcomes of individuals who interact together (see Blume and Durlauf (2005) and Soetevent (2006) for recent surveys).”
• Peer Effects in the Diffusion of Solar Photovoltaic Panels (2012, background): “To begin, there are three wellknown issues that often confound the identification of peer effects: endogenous group formation leading to self-selection of peers (homophily), correlated unobservables, and simultaneity (Manski 1993; Brock and Durlaf 2001; Moffitt 2001; Soetevent 2006).”
