Popularity
利用社会计量学中的友谊提名作为个人社会资本的早期积累指标，研究高中受欢迎度对40年后工资的影响，发现从第20百分位升至第80百分位可带来10%的工资溢价。
What makes you popular at school? What are the labor market returns to popularity? We investigate these questions using an objective measure of popularity derived from sociometric theory: the number of friendship nominations received from schoolmates, interpreted as a measure of early accumulation of personal social capital. Our econometric model of friendship formation and labor market outcomes allows for partial observation of networks, and provides new evidence on the impact of early family environment on popularity. We estimate that moving from the 20th to 80th percentile of the high school popularity distribution yields a 10 percent wage premium 40 years later. © 2013 by the Board of Regents of the University of Wisconsin System.
