This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program will fund $291,152 over three years to develop new statistical and econometric methods for analyzing social network data. Northwestern University will use the funding to build new nonparametric regression frameworks and investigate the informational content of partial network data generated through referral sampling and contingency tables. The researchers will characterize the statistical properties of their new methods, demonstrate applications in the social sciences, and disseminate related software. This work aims to provide empirical social scientists with better tools for incorporating network structure into models and understanding what network features influence economic and social outcomes, even when data is incomplete. By training graduate students and developing a new course, the funding will also support the next generation of researchers working with network data in causal inference.
