Empirical Models of Cultural Transmission
综述了偏好、认知和心理特质内生形成的实证分析，通过实例展示如何用现有数据区分家庭与社会对文化特质的影响，并分离遗传与文化环境因素的作用。
This paper reviews several issues concerning an empirical analysis of the endogenous formation of preferences, as well as cognitive and psychological traits. In particular we show by means of examples how, with existing data, it is possible to identify empirically the distinct influence of family and society at large in the determination of cultural traits, and to disentangle genetic inheritability from cultural and environmental factors determining cognitive and psychological traits.
