The role of social networks in cultural assimilation
Verdier, Thierry; Zenou, Yves - 2015
We develop a model where, in the first stage, minority individuals have to decide whether or not they want to assimilate to the majority culture while, in the second stage, all individuals (both from the majority and the minority group) embedded in a network have to decide how much effort they...

Conformism, social norms and the dynamics of assimilation
Olcina Vauteren, Gonzalo; Panebianco, Fabrizio; Zenou, Yves - 2018
We consider a model where each individual (or ethnic minority) is embedded in a network of relation-ships and decides whether or not she wants to be assimilated to the majority norm. Each individual wants her behavior to agree with her personal ideal action or norm but also wants her behavior to...

Assimilation patterns in cities
Satō, Yasuhiro; Zenou, Yves - 2019 - revised November 5, 2019
We develop a model in which ethnic minorities can either assimilate to the majority's norm or reject it by trading off higher productivity and wages with a greater social distance to their culture of origin. We show that "oppositional" ethnic minorities reside in more segregated areas, have...

We study a model of transmission of continuous cultural traits across generations where children learn their cultural trait from their parents and their social environment modeled by a network. Parents can engage in the socialization process of their children by biasing links in the network in...
