When choosing a social group to identify with, individuals appreciate high social status and a group stereotype to which they have a small social distance. A group\u05f3s social status and stereotype are shaped by the (exogenous) individual attributes of its members and hence endogenous to individuals\u05f3 choices. Unless disutility from social distance is strong enough, this creates a strategic tension as individuals with attributes that contribute little to group status would like to join high-status groups, thereby diluting the latters\u05f3 status and changing stereotypes. Such social free-riding motivates the use of soft exclusion technologies in high-status groups, which provides a unifying rationale for phenomena such as hazing rituals, charitable activities or status symbols that is not taste-based or follows a standard signaling mechanism.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mark Bernard, Florian Hett, Mario Mechtel, 2016, European Economic Review, 90, 4-17<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-981","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-publications"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/flex.uni-frankfurt.de\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/981","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/flex.uni-frankfurt.de\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/flex.uni-frankfurt.de\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flex.uni-frankfurt.de\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flex.uni-frankfurt.de\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=981"}],"version-history":[{"count":15,"href":"https:\/\/flex.uni-frankfurt.de\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/981\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2572,"href":"https:\/\/flex.uni-frankfurt.de\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/981\/revisions\/2572"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/flex.uni-frankfurt.de\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=981"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flex.uni-frankfurt.de\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=981"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flex.uni-frankfurt.de\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=981"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
