美国青少年广泛使用违禁药物引起了公众和学术研究人员的兴趣。在人们认为影响青少年药物使用的各种因素中，同伴效应被认为是一个关键的决定因素。然而，确定同伴效应是一项困难的任务。为了克服已知的困难，我在全国青少年纵向调查97中使用感知到的同伴行为来评估同伴对美国青少年物质使用的影响。这些数据表明了强大的同行效应。此外，在学校和家庭的固定影响估计中，结果没有实质性的变化。
Abstract.The widespread use of illicit substances by American teenagers has attracted the interest of both the general public and academic researchers. Among the various factors that people believe influence youth substance use, peer effects are identified as a critical determinant. Identifying peer effects, however, is known to be a difficult task. In an attempt to overcome known difficulties, I estimate peer effects on substance usage among American teenagers using perceived peer behavior in the National Longitudinal Survey Youth 97. The data indicate robust peer effects. Moreover, the results do not change substantially in school and household fixed effects estimations.
