Abstract

The link between culture and innovative activity has been extensively studied in recent years. Such research, however, is often limited to the direct relationship between culture and innovation without highlighting the role of indirect links through various socioeconomic factors. In this paper, we investigate both direct and indirect links between culture and innovation, proxied by the innovation output sub-index, using path analysis models and four sets of cultural dimensions: Minkov et al. (2017, 2018), Inglehart (1997), Inglehart and Welzel (2005), Beugelsdijk and Welzel (2018) and Kaasa and Minkov (2022). We find that aspects of governance and R&D investments play a significant role as mediators between culture and innovation. Our findings also indicate that the indirect effect of culture on innovation is stronger than the direct effect for all sets of cultural dimensions.

民族文化与创新关系的中介

近年来，文化与创新活动之间的联系得到了广泛的研究。然而，这些研究往往局限于文化与创新之间的直接关系，而没有强调通过各种社会经济因素的间接联系的作用。本文采用路径分析模型和四组文化维度:Minkov et al.(2018,2018)、Inglehart(1997)、Inglehart and Welzel(2005)、Beugelsdijk and Welzel(2018)和Kaasa and Minkov(2022)，以创新产出子指数为代表，研究了文化与创新之间的直接和间接联系。研究发现，企业治理和研发投资在文化与创新之间起着重要的中介作用。研究结果还表明，在所有文化维度中，文化对创新的间接影响都强于直接影响。
