Kinship, Incentives and Evolution

Alger, Ingela; Weibull, Jörgen - HAL - 2009

We analyze how family ties affect incentives, with focus on the strategic interaction between two mutually altruistic siblings. The siblings exert effort to produce output under uncertainty, and they may transfer output to each other. With equally altruistic siblings, their equilibrium effort is...

The fetters of the sib: Weber meets Darwin

Alger, Ingela; Weibull, Jörgen - HAL - 2008

We analyze how family ties affect incentives, with focus on the strategic interaction between a pair of mutually altruistic siblings. Each sibling exerts effort to produce output under uncertainty and the siblings may transfer output to each other. With equally altruistic siblings, their...

Chapter 58 Extended Family and Kinship Networks: Economic Insights and Evolutionary Directions

Cox, Donald; Fafchamps, Marcel - In: Handbook of development economics : volume 4, (pp. 3711-3784). 2007

What do we know about the role of extended families and kinship networks for redistributing resources? What gaps in our knowledge most need to be filled? How can we best organize current work and identify priorities for future research? These questions are important for several reasons:...
