  • the Cultural Origin of saving behavior
    LSE Research Online Documents on Economics, 2018
    Co-Authors: Joan Costafont, Paola Giuliano, Berkay Ozcan
    Abstract:

    Traditional economic interpretations have not been successful in explaining differences in saving rates across countries. One hypothesis is that savings respond to Cultural specific social norms. The accepted view in economics so far is that culture does not have any effect on savings. We revisit this evidence using a novel dataset, which allows us to study the saving behavior of up to three generations of immigrants in the United Kingdom. Against the backdrop of existing evidence, we find that Cultural preferences are an important explanation for cross-country differences in saving behavior, and their relevance persists up to three generations.

  • living arrangements in western europe does Cultural Origin matter
    Journal of the European Economic Association, 2007
    Co-Authors: Paola Giuliano
    Abstract:

    Conventional economic analyses have not been successful in explaining differences in living arrangements and particularly the dramatic increase in the fraction of young adults living with their parents in Mediterranean Europe. This paper presents a Cultural interpretation. I argue that the sexual revolution of the 1970s-by liberalizing parental attitudes-had a differential impact on living arrangements in Northern and Southern Europe on account of the closer parent-child ties in Southern Europe. Such an interpretation can easily explain both the shift in living arrangements over time and also observed North-South differentials. It receives support from data on the living arrangements of second-generation immigrants in the United States, both in 1970 and 2000. This duplication of the European pattern in a neutral environment, with the same unemployment benefits, the same welfare code, and the same macroeconomic conditions suggests a major role for culture in determining living arrangements.

  • living arrangements in western europe does Cultural Origin matter
    2005 Meeting Papers, 2006
    Co-Authors: Paola Giuliano
    Abstract:

    Why are there such large differences in living arrangements across Western European countries? Conventional economic analyses have not been successful in explaining differences in living arrangements and particularly the dramatic increase in the fraction of young adults living with their parents in Mediterranean Europe. This paper presents a Cultural interpretation. I argue that the sexual revolution of the 1970s – by liberalizing parental attitudes – had a differential impact on living arrangements in Northern and Southern Europe on account of the closer parent-child ties in Southern Europe. Such an explanation can easily explain both the shift in living arrangements over time and also observed North-South differentials. It receives support from data on the living arrangements of second-generation immigrants in the US. Both in 1970 and 2000, by country of Origin, the US living arrangements of second-generation immigrants mimic those in Europe across countries; similarly the changes in the US across time by country of Origin mimic the European changes. This duplication of the European pattern in a neutral environment, with the same unemployment benefits, the same welfare code and the same macroeconomic conditions suggests a major role for culture in determining living arrangements.

  • on the determinants of living arrangements in western europe does Cultural Origin matter
    Econometric Society 2004 North American Summer Meetings, 2004
    Co-Authors: Paola Giuliano
    Abstract:

    Why are there such large differences in living arrangements across Western European countries? Conventional economic analyses have not been successful in explaining differences in living arrangements and particularly the dramatic increase in the fraction of young adults living with their parents in Mediterranean Europe. This paper offers an explanation for this phenomenon and also shows a number of surprising facts that strongly support that explanation. This paper proposes an interpretation based on the interaction of a Cultural identity, reflected in different family types, with an exogenous shock --the sexual revolution. Such an explanation can easily explain both the shift in living arrangements over time and also observed North-South differentials. It receives support from data on the living arrangements of second-generation immigrants in the US. Both in 1970 and 2000, by country of Origin, the US living arrangements of second-generation immigrants mimic those in Europe across countries; similarly the changes in the US across time by country of Origin mimic the European changes. This duplication of the European pattern in a neutral environment, with the same unemployment benefits, the same welfare code and the same macroeconomic conditions suggests a major role in determining living arrangements for what is common between the immigrants and their mother-country counterpart, i.e. a shock that affected immigrants and their European counterparts similarly

  • does Cultural Origin affect saving behavior evidence from immigrants
    Economic Development and Cultural Change, 1999
    Co-Authors: Christopher D Carroll, Byungkun Rhee, Changyong Rhee
    Abstract:

    Because efforts to explain international saving differentials using traditional economic variables have not been very successful (Bosworth, 1993), some economists have proposed that national saving differences reflect Cultural differences. We attempt to test that hypothesis by using data from the US Census to examine whether immigrants to the US from high-saving countries tend to save more than immigrants from low-saving countries. While we do find highly statistically significant differences in immigrants' saving behavior by country of Origin, those differences do not match up with the differences in national saving rates. In particular, immigrants from high-saving Asian countries do not save more than other immigrants. (This abstract was borrowed from another version of this item.)

  • workaholism and work life imbalance does Cultural Origin influence the relationship
    International Journal of Psychology, 2010
    Co-Authors: Shahnaz Aziz, Carrie T Adkins, Alan G Walker, Karl L Wuensch
    Abstract:

    In recent years, workaholism has become prevalent throughout organizations and has captured the attention of organizational leaders as well as the academic and scientific communities. Most research in this area has focused on the negative consequences of workaholism, specifically work–life imbalance. One area of research that has largely been ignored is the potential influence of demographic variables on the relationship between workaholism and work–life imbalance. Therefore, the current study focused on how Cultural Origin might influence the intensity of this relationship. Based on relative deprivation theory and previous empirical work, it was expected that Cultural Origin would moderate the relationship between workaholism and work–life imbalance. Specifically, it was predicted that Caucasian participants would score higher on levels of workaholism than Black participants, and that the relationship between workaholism and work–life imbalance would be stronger for Caucasians than for Blacks. The result...
