Abstract

Measures of cultural attitudes derived from the World Values Survey are often used in economics to investigate the relation between individual culture and aggregate output. We show (i) that these measures are constructed from underlying variables that exhibit within-country volatility and time trends; and (ii) that such lack of persistence implies fragile correlations between cultural measures and output. These points are illustrated by revisiting prominent studies in this literature.

文化调查测量的波动性及其后果

经济学中经常使用世界价值观调查（World Values Survey）得出的文化态度测量值来研究个体文化与总产出之间的关系。我们的研究表明：(i) 这些测量值是由表现出国内波动性和时间趋势的基本变量构建的；(ii) 这种持久性的缺乏意味着文化测量值与产出之间的相关性很脆弱。我们将通过重温这些文献中的著名研究来说明这些观点。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
