Abstract

Abstract Using the pseudo-panel structure of friendship links, this paper employs a control function approach to estimate the impact of the number of friends on one’s own educational achievement in linear models. Results show that having one additional reciprocal or out-degree friend increases about 2 % of a standard deviation in cognitive test scores.
