Query: Regression-based Negative Control of Homophily in Dyadic Peer Effect
  Analysis   A prominent threat to causal inference about peer effects over social
networks is the presence of homophily bias, that is, social influence between
friends and families is entangled with common characteristics or underlying
similarities that form close connections. Analysis of social network data has
suggested that certain health conditions such as obesity and psychological
states including happiness and loneliness can spread over a network. However,
such analyses of peer effects or contagion effects have come under criticism
because homophily bias may compromise the causal statement. We develop a
regression-based approach which leverages a negative control exposure for
identification and estimation of contagion effects on additive or
multiplicative scales, in the presence of homophily bias. We apply our methods
to evaluate the peer effect of obesity in Framingham Offspring Study.
