“…Cultural traits are endogenous in this context. Allowing for interesting socioeconomic effects interacting with the socialization choices of parents, the basic cultural transmission model of Bisin and Verdier has been applied to several different environments and cultural traits and social norms of behavior, from preferences for social status (Bisin and Verdier (1998)), to corruption (Hauk and Sáez-Martí (2002)), hold up problems (Olcina and Penarrubia (2004)), development and social capital (Francois (2002)), intergenerational altruism (Jellal and Wolff (2002)), labor market discrimination and work ethics (Sáez-Martí and Zenou (2012)), globalization and cultural identities (Olivier, Thoenig, and Verdier (2008)), education Eckstein (2005, 2007), Patacchini and Zenou (2011)), and identity (Bisin, Patacchini, Verdier, and Zenou (2011a)).…”

“…Transfers need not be directly observed to reinforce bonds among kin. Retelling family stories of help given and help received in the past may also have inculcated younger members of a family with distinct family norms and expectations of assistance (Jellal & Wolff, 2002; Ribar & Wilhelm, 2006). Generalized exchange may have special relevance in populations, such as that of the United States, where family structures are primarily vertical, with few lateral extensions, and a large proportion of kin groups contain three or more generations—the beanpole family (Bengtson, Rosenthal, & Burton, 1996; Wolf, 1994).…”

An adult child’s provision of care to an unmarried elderly mother varies both within and between families. Within-family differences address the variation in different children’s behavior within in a family. Between-family differences refer to the propensities that members of a family—the children of one mother—share and that differentiate them from other families. Previous research suggests five hypotheses affecting either within-family or between-family differences. Data from multiple waves of the Asset and Health Dynamics Among the Oldest Old (AHEAD) cohort of the Health and Retirement Study (HRS; 16,719 observations on 5,607 mother–child dyads in 1,925 families) are used to estimate a multilevel model with a binary outcome. Results indicate substantial differences between families. Mother’s characteristics, family composition, and family history account for about half the between-family differences.

“…Certains résultats peuvent ainsi être sensiblement différents avec des aides en temps à la dépendance. Ainsi, ce dernier type d'aides s'adresse en priorité à des parents en mauvaise santé et peu fortunés (Jellal et Wolff [2002]). Néan-moins, l'information à disposition dans l'enquête ne permet pas d'exploiter d'autres questions dans le cadre d'une analyse sur les interactions entre les collatéraux au sein des fratries.…”
