综述了文化传播经济理论近十年的进展,涵盖文化特征范围、传播技术的微观基础以及文化、制度与社会经济环境的反馈效应,并指出未来研究方向。
In this article we survey recent advances in the economic theory of cultural transmission. We highlight three main themes on which the literature has made great progress in the last 10 years: the domain of traits subject to cultural transmission; the microfoundations for the technology of transmission; and feedback effects between culture, institutions, and various socioeconomic environments. We conclude by suggesting interesting areas for future research.
