Instrumental variables estimates of the canonical labor supply model expanded to permit social interactions pass a battery of specification checks and indicate positive and economically important spillovers for adult men. Ignoring or incorrectly considering social interactions in male labor supply can mis-estimate the response to tax reform by as much as 60 percent.}, keywords={labor supply;instrumental variables;reference group;social interactions;social multiplier;PSID}, }
