Using 2M+ real smartphone texts/calls (not self-reported friends) to track peer networks - richer peers look good for mental health, until you account for the fact that people actually choose who they stay in contact with. Then it flips: bad for mental health. Selection matters

Nice that this paper has been finally published after more than 10 years since the first draft! https://t.co/fhndIBCZIt

My paper on peer effects has been accepted at the JPE @JPolEcon.

I formulate and empirically test a theory of why students influence each other's learning in school: by competing with each other.

I thank the editor, referees, and data editor.

I suddenly thought of something an alumnus said at a high school talk: “you have to be able to endure loneliness.” I guess this is probably what they meant. But then again, pain always seems to come hand in hand with doing something great (hopefully).

The main source of suffering during a PhD is the lack of relatively frequent positive feedback, the kind you used to get while studying. It’s like hiking: before, walking from one village to the next brought a sense of freshness, and you would happily take on the next challenge.

[Junwei Fan @Jarvis_Fan]

But now, it feels as if you’ve been walking endlessly on the road without seeing any villages at all.
