Local Interactions

Abstract

Local interactions refer to social and economic phenomena where individuals' choices are influenced by the choices of others who are `close' to them socially or geographically. This represents a fairly accurate picture of human experience. Furthermore, since local interactions imply particular forms of externalities, their presence typically suggests government action. I survey and discuss existing theoretical work on economies with local interactions and point to areas for further research. Les interactions locales concernent les phénomènes socio-économiques où les choix des individus sont influencés par les choix des autres qui sont proches d'eux socialement ou géographiquement. Cela représente une image assez juste de l'expérience humaine. De plus, puisque les interactions sociales sont en fait des externalités particulières, leur présence implique typiquement l'intervention gouvernementale. Dans cet article, je présente la littérature théorique récente sur les interactions locales et propose diverses avenues de recherche.
