讲座题目：implicit contract commitment: son preference, filial piety, and grandson preference

摘要：we develop a theoretical framework to explore how people enforce implicit contracts. by introducing the production function of the emotional relationship and assuming sons are the main support forces of the elder parents, we provide several strategies to identify the motives for son preference, filial piety, and grandson preference. our altruism-assumption and selfishness-assumption models suggest that first, to enhance the contract value and to enforce the implicit contract are two possible motives for son preference; second, filial piety indicates the third parties such as the young who are concerned with the treatment of the middle toward the old can effectively strengthen the contract between the middle and the old; third, grandson preference reflects that the old intends to reinforce the implicit contract by providing increased support to the middle who is more in need of help. however, the selfish parents have stronger son preference and are more efficient to be stimulated by sons to provide support to grandparents than the altruistic parents, and the selfish grandparents do not necessarily have stronger grandson preference than the altruistic grandparents. we also propose several methods to identify the motives behind family behaviors in empirical studies. using two chinese twins datasets, we find that first, parents invest more resources on sons rather than the daughters; second, sons rather than daughters can more effectively motivate their parents to provide more care and transfers to grandparents; third, individuals with sons can obtain added transfers from parents.
