Sorting into secondary education and peer effects in youth smoking

Original language description

The start of daily smoking is often shortly after the resorting of students between elementary and secondary education. This paper employs a novel identification strategy based on this resorting, in order to estimate peer effects in youth smoking. We address the reflection problem by peers? pre-secondary-school smoking, which is not influenced by the current social interaction of classmates. The empirical findings based on data from the Czech Republic, where the prevalence of youth smoking prevalence reached high levels, suggest that male youth smoking is significantly affected by classmates, while female smoking is not.
