Stark, Oded; Rendl, Franz; Jakubek, Marcin - 2011
Let a society's unhappiness be measured by the aggregate of the levels of relative deprivation of its members. When two … societies of equal size, F and M, merge, unhappiness in the merged society is shown to be higher than the sum of the levels of … unhappiness in the constituent societies when apart; merger alone increases unhappiness. But when societies F and M merge and …

Counter-compensatory inter-vivos transfers and parental altruism: Compatibility or orthogonality?
Stark, Oded; Zhang, Junsen - 2000
The intersection of the standard altruism hypothesis with the quite strong evidence that bequests tend to be equal suggests that inter-vivos transfers should be strongly compensatory. Yet the available evidence is not in congruence with this implication. It has therefore been inferred that the...

The empirical evidence suggests that parents use inter vivos gifts (i.e., transfers of tangible and financial property) to compensate less well off children whereas post mortem bequests are divided equally among siblings. We study a theoretical model assuming, first, that the amounts given is...
