«'People usually communicate with others before making important choices. One form of communication is advice, particularly from trusted sources. A primary example is intergenerational advice, passed along from parents to children. Andrew Schotter is a pioneer regarding such advice in laboratory experiments. In this brilliant work, he describes how intergenerational advice plays out in a wide variety of environments. It is time for researchers to delve more deeply into this realm and this will help pave the way.' Gary Charness, University of California, Santa Barbara»
