| Abstract | I investigate how variations in peer groups across time can be used to identify and estimate peer effects in the presence of sorting and other confounding factors. I propose a simple estimator for the linear-in-means model of peer effects that can be extended to more general models of social interactions and to cases where there is feedback from past outcomes to current covariates or peer group assignment. In order to establish the asymptotic properties of the proposed estimators, I also develop an asymptotic framework for cross-sectional dependence characterized by time-varying cluster membership and for estimators that use non-nested two-way fixed effects transformations. As an empirical application, I evaluate the importance of accounting for peer-effects in models of student learning using administrative student achievement data from North Carolina. |
