Effects of disruptive peers in endogenous social networks
This study uses sociometric data to show that social connections in the classroom shape the diffusion of the negative externalities on cognitive achievement generated by abused and neglected peers. We find the strongest negative effects for students who are socially closest to the abused and neglected peer. The fade‐out rate of the negative externality

Skill formation and the trouble with child noncognitive skill measures
This paper develops a framework to address issues of contamination in parent‐reported measures of child noncognitive skills. We estimate a dynamic model in which child and parental skills evolve jointly and leverage information provided by teachers and interviewers to deal with contamination of parent‐reported measures.

Control Node Placement and Structural Controllability of Water Quality Dynamics in Drinking Networks
Abstract Chlorine, the most widely used disinfectant, needs to be adequately distributed in water distribution networks (WDNs) to maintain consistent residual levels and ensure safe water. This is performed through control node injections at the treatment plant and via booster stations distributed across the WDNs.
