Abstract
Peer evaluation, as a new alternative to traditional performance appraisal, has recently become very popular. This paper studies how the structure of a social network shapes the aggregate outcome and affects individuals'' contributions while individuals'' payoffs depend on a peer evaluation system. We design two allocation rules appropriate for different purposes to weigh individuals'' opinions: simple weighted allocation rule (SWAR) and Myerson weighted allocation rule (MWAR), and analyze the equilibrium outcomes under these rules. We find that peer effects operate in a heterogeneous manner.
