我们研究的形成偏好的“社会地位”的代际传递的文化特征的结果。我们的行为特征的父母与偏好的地位方面的社会化，他们的孩子，这一特定的文化特质。我们证明了种群的退化分布（智能体要么拥有所有状态偏好，要么拥有所有非状态偏好）是动态不稳定的。此外，在一定条件下，存在唯一的非退化平稳分布（其中身份偏好和非身份偏好共存于种群中），并且该分布是局部稳定的。最后，我们研究了地位偏好的稳定平稳分布对影响主体经济条件的制度、技术和政策参数的依赖性。(C)1998年Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
We study the formation of preferences for 'social status' as the result of intergenerational transmission of cultural traits. We characterize the behavior of parents with preferences for status in terms of socialization of their children to this particular cultural trait. We show that degenerate distributions of the population (whereby agents have either all status preferences or all non-status preferences) are dynamically unstable. Moreover, under some conditions, there exists a unique stationary distribution which is non-degenerate (in which both status and non-status preferences co-exist in the population), and this distribution is locally stable. Finally, we study the dependence of the stable stationary distribution of status preferences on institutional, technological and policy parameters which affect agents' economic conditions.
