Event description:
“Empirical models of network formation with heterogenous agents”
Speaker: Bryan S. Graham
Associate Professor of Economics, University of California - Berkeley
Abstract: This talk will survey my recent work on empirical models of network formation. I will emphasize procedures which incorporate unobserved agent characteristics (i.e., heterogeneity). These characteristics may covary with observed agent attributes or policy variables of interest to the researcher.
