Cultural Transmission and Social Norms workshop

With Fabian Winter

Several factors have made norms and culture practically important to Western societies: the failure of democratization in Iraq and the Middle East; Europe’s migrant crisis and issues of social integration; the loss of trust and social capital; the emergence of populist politicians challenging what seemed to be consensus values; and domestic policy issues with a "behavioural" and normative dimension, such as obesity, savings, and environmental behaviour.
