摘要

2020年新冠肺炎的爆发导致印度教育机构关闭，并转向在线教学。它提供了一个自然的实验环境，在这个环境中考察学生之间内生联系的形成，并分析这种过程的路径依赖性。关于学术援助来源的信息是使用谷歌表格从印度一所大学经济学系研究生课程的两组学生中收集的。使用社交网络分析中使用的标准测量来分析信息，如社交图、中心性测量和同质性指数。我们表明，与预期相反，继承联系会限制参与者形成优化结果的联系。JEL代码：D85、I20

Online Network Formation Among Students During COVID-19: Analysing Path Dependency in a Natural Experimental Setting

The onset of COVID-19 in 2020 led to the closure of educational institutions and a shift to online teaching in India. It provides a natural experiment setting in which to examine the formation of endogenous ties among students and analyses the path-dependent nature of such a process. Information on sources of academic assistance was collected from members of two groups of students enrolled in the postgraduate course of the Economics Department of an Indian University using Google forms. The information was analysed using standard measures employed in social network analysis, such as sociograms, centrality measures, and homophily index. We show that, contrary to expectations, inheriting ties can constrain actors from forming ties that optimize outcomes. JEL Codes: D85, I20

期刊介绍： Studies in Microeconomics seeks high quality theoretical as well as applied (or empirical) research in all areas of microeconomics (broadly defined to include other avenues of decision science such as psychology, political science and organizational behavior). In particular, we encourage submissions in new areas of Microeconomics such as in the fields of Experimental economics and Behavioral Economics. All manuscripts will be subjected to a peer-review process. The intended audience of the journal are professional economists and young researchers with an interest and expertise in microeconomics and above. In addition to full-length articles MIC is interested in publishing and promoting shorter refereed articles (letters and notes) that are pertinent to the specialist in the field of Microeconomics (broadly defined). MIC will periodically publish special issues with themes of particular interest, including articles solicited from leading scholars as well as authoritative survey articles and meta-analysis on the themed topic. We will also publish book reviews related to microeconomics, and MIC encourages publishing articles from policy practitioners dealing with microeconomic issues that have policy relevance under the section Policy Analysis and Debate.
