abstract="Existing economic models of suicide fail to explain sudden drastic change (&quot;displacement&quot;) in suicides and the lack of responses (&quot;persistence&quot;) in suicides after changes in underlying socioeconomic variables. A social norms model of suicide successfully explains the displacement and persistence of suicides as observed in some countries. The model suggests the role of social norms in suicides is complicated; social norms can act as a double-bladed sword. When there are few people in the society committed suicides, social norms suppresses the equilibrium suicides; on the other hand, when there are many people in the society committed suicides, social norms may promote the equilibrium suicides. © 2020, Springer Nature B.V.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
