本文研究了代际文化传播模型中偏好特征的人口动态。父母在某种形式的家长式利他主义（“不完美的同理心”）的推动下，进行社交活动并将自己的偏好传递给后代。在这样的背景下，我们研究人口偏好的长期稳定状态模式。根据严重的社会化机制和机构。我们证明，就群体中性状分布的动态而言，文化传播机制与进化选择机制具有非常不同的含义，并且我们研究了与进化相互作用的机制；选择和文化传播。 (C) 2001 年学术出版社。
This paper studies the population dynamics of preference traits in a model of intergenerational cultural transmission. Parents socialize and transmit their preferences to their offspring, motivated by a form of paternalistic altruism ("imperfect empathy"). In such a setting we study the long run stationary state pattern of preferences in the population. according to carious socialization mechanisms and institutions. and identify sufficient conditions for the global stability of an heterogenous stationary distribution of the preference traits.We show that cultural transmission mechanisms have very different implications than evolutionary selection mechanisms with respect to the dynamics of the distribution of the traits in the population, and we study mechanisms which interact evolutionary; selection and cultural transmission.
