The Collaborative Research Center TR 224 organized a Summer School on the Econometrics of Peer Effects and Social Interactions for Ph.D. students and recent post-docs, that was held in Kurhaus Trifels in Annweiler in July 2019. The purpose of the school was to introduce Ph.D. students as well as recent post-docs in economics to cutting-edge methods to empirically analyze peer effects and social interactions/social networks. The Summer School was organized by Katja Maria Kaufmann (U Mannheim), Antonio Ciccone (U Mannheim) and Hans-Martin von Gaudecker (U Bonn) and held by two leading economists in the field, Bryan Graham (UC Berkeley) and Aureo de Paula (University College London). Each day, there was a long morning lecture session, while the afternoons offered opportunities for students to discuss their ideas and research with faculty and fellow students.
