Local Interactions

Author

  • ÖZGÜR, Onur

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.
