Value Diversity and Regional Economic Development
研究了欧洲国家内部文化价值观多样性与区域经济表现的关系，发现价值观多样性越高，区域经济表现越差，且与低制度质量和公共品供给相关。
Abstract We investigate the link between culture and regional economic development within European countries. Considering a variety of cultural values, we provide evidence that it is the degree of diversity in these values at the regional level that strongly correlates with economic performance, rather than the prevalence of specific values. In particular, we show that greater value diversity is negatively associated with regional economic performance within countries, which also relates to lower institutional quality and poorer public goods provision. These patterns are robust even when diversity is measured on the basis of values expressed by emigrants residing outside their region of origin.
