This paper attempts to disentangle the direct effects of experience from those of culture in determining fertility. We use the GSS to examine the fertility of women born in the US but from different ethnic backgrounds. We take lagged values of the
total fertility rate
in the woman's country of ancestry as the cultural proxy and use the woman's number of siblings to capture her direct family experience. We find that both variables are significant determinants of fertility, even after controlling for several individual and family-level characteristics.

...Incorporating social norms into an economic model of household formation contributes to the recent literature that looks at how social norms (or culture) shape an individual’s economic behavior, such as savings decisions (e.g., Carroll and Rhee 1994), fertility and female labor force participation (e.g.,
Fernandez et al. 2006
), and living arrangements (e.g., Giuliano 2007)...

...It has previously been shown that culture affects important economic decisions such as labor market participation and fertility (e.g.,
Fernández and Fogli 2006
), and the institutional setting has been found to influence competitive behavior (e.g., Balafoutas and Sutter 2010; Gneezy et al. 2009; Niederle and Yestrumskas 2008; Cotton et al. 2009; Niederle et al. 2009; Wozniak et al. 2010)...
