This paper identifies endogenous social effects in mathematics test performance for eighth graders in rural Bangladesh using information on arsenic contamination of water wells at home as an instrument. In other words, the identification relies on variation in test scores among peers owing to exogenous exposure to arsenic contaminated water wells at home. The results suggest that the peer effect is significant, and school selection plays little role in biasing peer effects estimates.

Les médias américains n'offrent finalement des Noirs américains qu'une vision stéréotypée. On trouve peu d'exemples de réussite universitaire ou professionnelle, alors que nombreux sont les articles sur l'échec scolaire des élèves noirs. Ils sont constamment associés au misérabilisme mais les chiffres montrent que le taux des diplômés noirs à l'université augmente. Cette enquête auprès de Noirs New-yorkais analyse leur succès en se penchant sur leur environnement familial et extra-familial tout en proposant une autre image.

Exponential smoothing methods have been around since the 1950s, and are the most popular forecasting methods used in business and industry. Recently, exponential smoothing has been revolutionized with the introduction of a complete modeling framework incorporating innovations state space models, likelihood calculation, prediction intervals and procedures for model selection. In this book, all of the important results for this framework are brought together in a coherent manner with consistent notation. In addition, many new results and extensions are introduced and several application areas are examined in detail. Rob J.
