Anti-immigrant sentiment is frequently motivated by the idea that migrants are a threat to the host country's culture (Rapoport et al., 2020). We contribute to the discussion by investigating whether migrants adapt their social preferences (SPs) to those prevalent in their host country. For...

Repercussions of negatively selective migration for the behavior of nonmigrants when preferences are social

Stark, Oded; Budziński, Wiktor - 2019

population migrates. Given that individuals dislike low relative income, and that migration modifies the social space of the non …-migrants, we show why and how the non-migrants adjust their work effort and output in response to the migration-generated change in … their social space.

Preferences for redistribution and international migration

Kauppinen, Ilpo; Poutvaara, Panu - 2020

Are migrants self-selected and sorted according to their views about what constitutes a fair level of redistribution? A major challenge in answering this question is that fairness concerns and self-interest are intertwined. We present a theoretical framework that allows us to test whether...

Preferences for redistribution and international migration

Kauppinen, Ilpo; Poutvaara, Panu - 2018

The Tiebout hypothesis suggests that people who migrate from more to less redistributive countries are more negative towards redistribution than non-migrants. However, differences between migrants' and non-migrants' redistributive preferences might also reflect self-interest. We present a model...

A note on salience of own preferences and the consensus effect

Dohmen, Thomas; Quercia, Simone; Willrodt, Jana - 2023

In this paper, we hypothesize that the strength of the consensus effect, i.e., the tendency for people to overweight the prevalence of their own values and preferences when forming beliefs about others' values and preferences, depends on the salience of own preferences. We manipulate salience by...

Why and how identity should influence utility

Wichardt, Philipp C. - 2007 - This Version: January 11, 2007

This paper provides an argument for the advantage of a preference for identity-consistent behaviour from an evolutionary point of view. Within a stylised model of social interaction, we show that the development of cooperative social norms is greatly facilitated if the agents of the society...
