The Econometrics of Utility Transferability in Dyadic Network Formation Models
二元关系网络形成模型中效用可转移性的计量分析
This paper studies how to estimate an individual's taste for forming a connection with another individual in a network. It compares the difficulty of estimation with and without the assumption that utility is transferable between individuals, and with and without the assumption that regressors are symmetric across individuals in the pair. I show that when pair-specific regressors are symmetric, the sufficient conditions for consistency and asymptotic normality of the maximum…
