Small-group composition and peer effects
This paper reviews research on grouping of students within classes and its effects on learning. Primary consideration is given to grouping and mixing students by ability, though consideration is also given to grouping and mixing students by ethnicity and gender as well as to research on the effects of group size. Results of meta-analyses of grouping show a small but meaningful advantage of form...
متن کاملMonopolistic group design with peer effects
In a range of settings, private firms manage peer effects by sorting agents into different groups, be they schools, communities, or product categories. This paper considers such a firm, which controls group entry by setting a series of anonymous prices. We show that private provision systematically leads to two distortions relative to the efficient solution: first, agents are segregated too fin...

متن کاملSome Experiments on Peer Group Pixels Based Spatial Classifier
This paper empirically compares two algorithms for classifying remotely sensed images: The minimum-distance classifier and peer group pixels based spatial classifier. The minimum-distance classifier is a per-pixel classifier. The spatial classifier incorporates contextual information by using the average of the pixels from a peer group of each pixel and classifying this pixel into one of severa...
متن کاملTree-connected peer group situations and peer group games
A class of cooperative games is introduced which arises from situations in which a set of agents is hierarchically structured and where potential individual economic abilities interfere with the behavioristic rules induced by the organization structure. These games form a cone generated by a specific class of unanimity games, namely those based on coalitions called peer groups. Different econom...
