“…Moreover, East German TV aired no programs which offered an insight into a much wealthier and prettier world. Actors pursued no individualistic interests; material preferences were depicted in a rather negative way (see, e.g., Schültzke 2005;Trültzsch 2009;Pfau et al 2010). Generally, East German TV did not intend to raise consumption preferences.…”

Terms of use: Documents in AbstractThe paper addresses the question of whether TV consumption has an impact on material aspirations. We exploit a natural experiment that took place during the period in which Germany was divided. Owing to geographical reasons, TV programs from the Federal Republic of Germany could not be received in all parts of the German Democratic Republic. Therefore, a natural variation occurred in exposure to West German television. We find robust evidence that watching TV is positively correlated with aspirations. Our identification strategy implies a causal relationship running from TV to aspirations. This conclusion resists various sets of alternative specifications and samples.
