Shaping intergenerational relationships : the demonstration effect
According to the demonstration effect theory, parents make intergenerational transfers to their elders in order to elicit a symmetric future behavior from their children. In this paper we show that upstream transfers are expected to increase with low returns from alternative financial assets and with the donor’s life expectancy. The latter effect creates a greater incentive for daughters to car...
متن کاملINTERGENERATIONAL TRANSFERS AND THE DEMONSTRATION EFFECT by
Griliches and the anonymous referee for very helpful comments. Partial financial support from the World Bank through RPO 676-24 is gratefully acknowledged. How can parents secure old-age support in the form of care, attention or financial transfers from their children? We explore the enforcement of implicit intergenerational agreements from a fresh angle by studying the possibility that the chi...
متن کاملReward Shaping by Demonstration
Potential-based reward shaping is a theoretically sound way of incorporating prior knowledge in a reinforcement learning setting. While providing flexibility for choosing the potential function, under certain conditions this method guarantees the convergence of the final policy, regardless of the properties of the potential function. However, this flexibility of choice may cause confusion when ...
متن کاملIntergenerational relationships process in nursing homes: A grounded theory study
Aims: In the context of the nursing home, intergenerational relationships has of particular importance because people of different ages and from different generations interact with each other. Caregivers, including nurses, can cover a wide range of intergenerational relationships in the form of care provided to the elderly. Despite the importance of intergenerational relationship among the elde...
متن کاملReinforcement Learning from Demonstration through Shaping
Reinforcement learning describes how a learning agent can achieve optimal behaviour based on interactions with its environment and reward feedback. A limiting factor in reinforcement learning as employed in artificial intelligence is the need for an often prohibitively large number of environment samples before the agent reaches a desirable level of performance. Learning from demonstration is a...
