The Intergenerational Transmission of Risk and Trust Attitudes
Recent theoretical contributions depart from the usual practice of treating individual attitude endowments as a black box, by assuming that these are shaped by the attitudes of parents and other role models. Attitudes include fundamental preferences such as risk preference, and crucial beliefs about the world, such as trust. This paper provides evidence on the three main mechanisms for attitude...
متن کاملRisk Aversion and Stochastic Dominance: A Revealed Preference Approach
Theoretically, given a choice over two risky assets with equivalent expected returns, a risk averse expected utility maximizer should choose the second-order stochastically dominant asset. We develop a theoretical framework that allows for decision error, which should decrease in risk aversion. We conduct an experiment using a risk preference elicitation mechanism to identify risk averse indivi...
متن کاملIntergenerational Transmission of Gender Attitudes: Evidence from India
This paper examines the intergenerational transmission of gender attitudes in India, a setting where discrimination against women and girls is severe. The researchers use survey data on gender attitudes (specifically, views about the appropriate roles and rights of women and girls) collected from adolescents attending 314 schools in the state of Haryana, and their parents. They find that when a...
متن کاملParenting with Style: Altruism and Paternalism in Intergenerational Preference Transmission
We construct a theory of intergenerational preference transmission that rationalizes the choice between alternative parenting styles (related to Baumrind 1967). Parents maximize an objective function that combines Beckerian and paternalistic altruism towards children. They can affect their children’s choices via two channels: either by influencing their preferences or by imposing direct restric...
متن کاملA Comprehensive Approach to Revealed Preference Theory∗
We develop a version of Afriat’s Theorem that is applicable to a variety of choice environments, beyond the setting of classical consumer theory. This allows us to devise tests for rationalizability in the context of choice data on lotteries, contingent consumption, and intertemporal consumption. We also establish a version of Richter’s Theorem that characterizes the strict rationalizability of...
