Abstract
This note extends the Brock and Durlauf (2001) model of discrete choice with social interactions to a setting with multiple locations. This generalization leads to a closed-form measure of the "social multiplier" akin to that of Glaeser, Sacerdote, and Scheinkman (2003). The dynamics of this multiplier expose the relationship between the aggregate social outcome and the strength of the social multiplier.
