Can your brother, cousin, or neighbour influence your college major? This episode explores how the study choices of older siblings, cousins, and even neighbors can shape what younger people decide to study in college.

This episode is based on the paper "Spillovers in Fields of Study: Siblings, Cousins, and Neighbors" by Stanislav Avdeev, Nadine Ketel, Hessel Oosterbeek, and Bas van der Klaauw published in the Journal of Public Economics.
