We investigate the impact of the intergenerational nature of services, via backward compatibility, on the adoption of multi-generational platforms. We consider a mobile Internet platform that has evolved over several generations and for which users download complementary services from third party providers. These services are often intergenerational: newer platform generations are backward comp...

Changes in intergenerational mobility over time have been the focus of extensive research. However, existing studies have been limited to studying males and intergenerational correlations in outcome variables that often lack clear welfare implications. This paper introduces a new approach to estimating intergenerational mobility that relies on health measures rather than occupational measures t...

This study first examines the effects of parental divorce and paternal crime on offspring offending. Then, it tests whether parental divorce moderates the intergenerational transmission of crime. Diversity within the offending population is taken into account by examining whether effects are different for fathers who commit crimes at different points of the life-course and by distinguishing bet...

In the conditions of modern world, there is an increasing socio-cultural gap between generations. To create sustainable development and functioning society, to maintain its stability in present future, it necessary for strengthening intergenerational relations. All social programs must be accompanied by architectural programs, so a need urban planning transformation existing space favor ties. T...

In an important contribution to the problem of aggregating infinite utility streams, Svensson (1980) shows the existence of a social welfare relation—a reflexive, transitive and complete binary relation over all possible infinite utility streams—that accommodates the axioms of Pareto and intergenerational equity. This possibility result is in sharp contrast with the seminal contribution by Diam...

This study examines cognitive and non-cognitive skills and their transmission from parents to children as one potential candidate to explain the intergenerational link of socio-economic status. Using representative data from the German Socio-Economic Panel Study, we contrast the impact of parental cognitive abilities (fluid intelligence, crystallized intelligence) and personality traits (Big Fi...

The main objective of this study is to investigate the relationship between family values and marital tendency among female high school students in Qaemshahr city. To answer the main research question, five hypotheses with independent variables (rituals and traditions, spouse selection criteria, decision making system, intergenerational gap and also accountability) together with dependent varia...

Compared to other primates, humans live a long time and have large brains. Recent theories of the evolution of human life history stages (grandmother hypothesis, intergenerational transfer of information) lend credence to the notion that selection for increased life span and menopause has occurred in hominid evolution, despite the reduction in the force of natural selection operating on older, ...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to provide the systematic analysis of an innovative, intergenerational knowledge transfer strategy in a knowledge-intensive organization. Design/methodology/approach – The case study method was adopted to study the intergenerational knowledge transfer activities. A triangulated approach was employed in respect of the data collection, which included non-par...

Huntington's disease (HD) is a neurodegenerative disorder caused by the expansion of a CAG trinucleotide repeat in exon 1 of the HTT gene. Longer repeat sizes are associated with increased disease penetrance and earlier ages of onset. Intergenerationally unstable transmissions are common in HD families, partly underlying the genetic anticipation seen in this disorder. HD CAG knock-in mouse mode...
