Many economists today agree that informal institutions and culture have a critically important influence on the outcomes of economic activity. Under the influence of economists such as Nobel laureates Douglas North and Gary Becker, an important research direction is developing, in which cultural and institutional factors are used to create a more comprehensive and realistic theory of economic behavior. This book offers a broad overview of research in this area. The first part introduces and explains various theoretical approaches to studying culture in economic science, starting from Smith and Weber, and discusses methodological issues that need to be considered when incorporating culture into economic theories. The second part of the book offers readers a series of examples of how the cultural approach can be used to explain economic phenomena in four different areas: entrepreneurship, trust, international business, and corporate governance.
