Query: Estimation of Peer Effects in Endogenous Social Networks: Control
  Function Approach   We propose a method of estimating the linear-in-means model of peer effects
in which the peer group, defined by a social network, is endogenous in the
outcome equation for peer effects. Endogeneity is due to unobservable
individual characteristics that influence both link formation in the network
and the outcome of interest. We propose two estimators of the peer effect
equation that control for the endogeneity of the social connections using a
control function approach. We leave the functional form of the control function
unspecified and treat it as unknown. To estimate the model, we use a sieve
semiparametric approach, and we establish asymptotics of the semiparametric
estimator.
