Interview with Art Samson
No full textInterview with Arthur Aaron “Art” Samson (1921-2006) recorded on August 9, 1995 in South Haven, Michigan. Originally recorded by Monadnock Media for a Kalamazoo Valley Museum exhibit on Jewish resorts in South Haven. As a child, the youngest of 5 kids, Art came with his family from Chicago in 1928 when his father, Fishl Samson, bought a building, which later developed into Samson\u27s Resort. He recounts his memories of the resort, including: his father calling in family to help build new additions, like a dining hall, and paying them only with whisky, herring, and rye bread; working summers at the resort along with his siblings; resort entertainment, open-air dance floors with color lights; how their resort attracted clientele and poached guests at the docks; washing dishes, checking the lights, cleaning the bathrooms, driving the bus, and other jobs on a typical day at the resort; working hard all summer with little downtime, as usual for the resort workers in-season; facing antisemitism; leaving for the Army and WWII in 1942, then returning to South Haven to run a gas station; Samson\u27s Resort closing soon after the death of his father in 1949.https://scholarworks.wmich.edu/south-haven-resorts/1006/thumbnail.jp

Family altruism and incentives
No full textThe author builds on the altruistic model of the family, to explore the strategic interaction between altruistic parents, and selfish children, when children's efforts are endogenous. If there is uncertainty about the amount of income the children will realize, and if parents have imperfect information, the children have an incentive to exert little effort, and to rely on their parent's altruistically motivated transfers. Because of this, parents face a tradeoff between the insurance that bequests implicitly provide their children, and the disincentive to work prompted by their altruism. The author shows that if parents can credibly commit to a pattern of transfers, they will choose not to compensate children in bad outcomes, as much as predicted by the standard (no uncertainty, no asymmetric information) dynastic model of the family. Alternatively, parents may choose to forgo any insurance, and offer a fixed level of bequest, to elicit greater effort from their children. The optimal transfers structure that the author derives, reconciles the predictions of the altruistic family model, with much of the existing evidence on inter-generational transfers, which suggests that parents compensate only partially, or not at all, for earnings differentials among their children. Moreover, the author shows that Ricardian equivalence holds in this setup, except when non-negativity constraints are binding.Economic Theory&Research,Environmental Economics&Policies,Health Economics&Finance,Educational Sciences,Safety Nets and Transfers
