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. %K labor supply %K instrumental variables %K reference group %K social interactions %K social multiplier %K PSID
