“…To the extent that this happens, the parties involved generalize the norm beyond the original problem, namely how to distribute the gains from sharecropping, to other types of exchange, for example who defers to whom when a farmer and land owner meet in the street? As a very different example of coordination and inequality, a prominent hypothesis posits that female genital cutting, especially infibulation, is a coordination norm that helps men manage paternity uncertainty (Efferson, Vogt, & Fehr, 2020;Howard & Gibson, 2019;Mackie, 1996;Vogt, Zaid, Ahmed, Fehr, & Efferson, 2016). Once a cutting norm is in place, parents face strong incentives to cut their daughters to improve the future marriage prospects of these daughters (Camilotti, 2016;Efferson, Vogt, Elhadi, Ahmed, & Fehr, 2015;Efferson et al, 2020;Howard & Gibson, 2019;Platteau & Auriol, 2018;Shell-Duncan, Wander, Hernlund, & Moreau, 2011;Vogt et al, 2016).…”
