With a little help from my friends?: quality of social networks, job finding and job match qualityTools Cappelari, Lorenzo and Tatsiramos, Konstantinos (2015) With a little help from my friends?: quality of social networks, job finding and job match quality. European Economic Review, 78 . pp. 55-75.

Various identification strategies provide robust evidence that a higher number of employed contacts increases the job finding rate. Network quality also increases wages for high-skilled workers forming networks with non-familial contacts. Instead, for low-skilled workers, more employed familial contacts lead to a negative but not significant effect on wages. These findings reconcile previous mixed evidence of network effects on wages, indicating heterogeneity by skill level and relationship type.
