Notes
In other works Bicchieri (2006:38) further refines descriptive norms by introducing the notion of conventions, which are distinct from customs (customs are distinct from descriptive norms, and conventions are a proper subset of descriptive norms). For more on conventions see Lewis (1969)‘s classic work.
