摘要

我们对座位数量有限的项目中的最优治疗分配进行了建模，并研究了同伴效应的存在如何影响最优分配规则。然后，我们使用一项随机对照试验的数据来证明，在美国弱势成年人的职业培训中存在巨大的同伴效应。最后，我们将模型和经验相结合，表明如果任务选择考虑了同伴效应，该计划将产生更大的影响。

Optimal Allocation of Seats in the Presence of Peer Effects: Evidence from a Job Training Program

We model optimal treatment assignment in programs with a limited number of seats and study how the presence of peer effects impacts the optimal allocation rule. We then use data from a randomized control trial to show evidence that there are large peer effects in the context of job training for disadvantaged adults in the United States. Finally, we combine the model and the empirics to show that the program would have had a much greater impact if the assignment choices had accounted for the peer effects.

期刊介绍： Since 1983, the Journal of Labor Economics has presented international research that examines issues affecting the economy as well as social and private behavior. The Journal publishes both theoretical and applied research results relating to the U.S. and international data. And its contributors investigate various aspects of labor economics, including supply and demand of labor services, personnel economics, distribution of income, unions and collective bargaining, applied and policy issues in labor economics, and labor markets and demographics.
