Abstract

This chapter considers the effects of social networks on the income and employment dynamics of rural–urban migrants in Vietnam. Estimation of a causal effect is challenging because unobserved factors affect both employment performance and social networks. I address this endogeneity problem by using the instrumental variable method. The results suggest that social networks improve migrants’ incomes and make wage-earners willing to change their jobs.
