My research agenda focuses on the economics of social networks and is centered around three related questions: conceptual, positive and normative. First, how does social distance affect players ’ other-regarding preferences? Second, how does social distance affect outcomes through social learning? Third, how do social networks affect the allocation of resources? In all of my projects, I first compile an extensive social network database of a particular community (Wesleyan and Harvard undergraduates, residents of shanty-towns of Lima, Peru). In the first project, I propose to use a sequence of modified dictator games to analyze how other-regarding preferences depend on social dis-tance between players and apply a calibrated model to predict ...
