The Scope of Cooperation: Norms and Incentives (2007, methodology): “Unlike in Bisin and Verdier (2001), and given the different focus of our analysis, we neglect the possibility that the kids’values or the effect of parental effort also depend on the current distribution of types in the population.”
Culture and Institutions (2015, neutral): “65 Tabellini (2008b) builds on Dixit (2004) and also on Bisin and Verdier (2001) for the model of intergenerational transmission of values.”
The Future in Mind: Aspirations and Forward-Looking Behaviour in Rural Ethiopia (2014, background): “Others are learned from our experiences, from parents or others in our communities, or from collective beliefs or social conventions developed over generations (Bisin and Verdier, 2001).”
The Math Gender Gap: The Role of Culture (2014, background): “32 Panel C explores transmission of gender identity from parents to children, a channel that has been extensively documented in the literature (Bisin and Verdier 2001; and Farré and Vella 2013).”
The Roots of Low European Employment: Family Culture? (2005, neutral): “See Bisin and Verdier (2001) for an analysis of the dynamics of preference and cultural evolution.”
Families in Macroeconomics (2016, neutral): “az See, for example, Rosenzweig and Wolpin (1980) and Bleakley and Lange (2009). Vogl (2016) argues that the negative relationship of quantity and quality may be a relatively recent phenomenon.”
Saying and Doing Gender: Intergenerational Transmission of Attitudes towards the Sexual Division of Labour (2016, background): “Third, recent research on the intergenerational transmission of gender attitudes, particularly transmission models in economics, tends to assume an active mode of parental socialization (Bisin and Verdier 2001).”
States and economic growth: Capacity and constraints☆ (2017, background): “Second, as modeled in theoretical papers on the intergenerational transmission of values, an important mechanism for cultural persistence is the incentives that parents have to inculcate culture values in their children (see Bisin and Verdier, 2001).”
Risk, Cooperation and the Economic origins of social Trust: an empirical Investigation (2009, neutral): “The results of this research complement the literature on the long-term persistence of cultural norms (Bisin and Verdier, 2001; Guiso et al., 2007; Tabellini, 2008) by documenting that historical patterns of cooperation in response to risk continue to influence how individuals relate to each other…”
Does Culture Affect Unemployment? Evidence from the Röstigraben (2009, background): “See e.g. Bisin and Verdier (2000, 2001, 2004) on marriage and religion, Hauk and Saez Marti (2002) on corruption, Doepke and Zilibotti (2008) on class-specific preferences and the industrial revolution.”
