Cultural Transmission of Civicness

No 11-33, Discussion Papers from University of Copenhagen. Department of Economics

Abstract: This paper estimates the intergeneration transmission of civicness by studying second generation immigrants in 29 European countries with ancestry in 83 nations. There is significant transmission of civicness both on the mother’s and the father’s side. The estimates are quantitatively significant and provide evidence on the transmission of trustworthiness.
