LINGUISTIC STRUCTURES AND ECONOMIC OUTCOMES
这篇综述梳理了语言结构如何影响经济和社会结果的最新实证证据，讨论了数据、实证设计和识别问题，并对未来研究和政策提出启示。
Abstract Linguistic structures have recently started to attract attention from economists as determinants of economic phenomena. This paper provides the first comprehensive review of this nascent literature and its achievements so far. First, we explore the complex connections between language, culture, thought and behaviour. Then, we summarize the empirical evidence on the relationship between linguistic structures and economic and social outcomes. We follow up with a discussion of data, empirical design and identification. The paper concludes by discussing implications for future research and policy.
