“…Part of it uses 3SLS estimations of recursive CBD models expressing the neo-Weberian cultural mechanism. Elsewhere, CBD-related research has applied other techniques that are relevant for cross-sectional data such as logistic regression, multi-nominal logit, 2SLS models, etc., Yet, all empirical works shared all consistently clear evidence for the main theoretical CBD claims (see Tubadji 2012, Tubadji and Nijkamp 2014 for more details).…”

“…Yet, CBD augments it with a mobility component of spatial sorting that reflects the dynamics in addition to the static attitude and place effects. At the second gear, through the local human capital's decision-making, it affects the socio-economic choices shaping the development in a locality (see Tubadji 2012Tubadji , 2013Tubadji and Nijkamp 2014, for more details).…”

“…DIV denotes the local level of heterogeneity (diversity), which gives rise to cultural distance, while CC denotes the local cultural milieu. The last two are combined in a joint cultural gravity effect, which explains why the coefficient of the one is equal to 1 minus the coefficient of the other (see Tubadji and Nijkamp 2014, for more details on cultural gravity). A stands for the knowledge which is a constant in a fixed moment in time, i.e.…”

“…Moreover, the emerging theoretical CBD concept is accumulating a constantly growing body of empirical evidence for various aspects of its claims. This evidence is thus far predominantly based on case studies from the USA (Tubadji et al 2014a, b), the EU (Tubadji and Nijkamp 2014) and Germany (Tubadji 2012;Tubadji and Pelzel 2015), but not yet from Greece. It should be noted that the data on Greece, especially with regard to human capital, is generally scant.…”

This paper seeks to find evidence for the impact of local culture-living culture and cultural heritage-on regional socio-economic development in Greece. The main aim of the paper is to operationalize the culture-based development hypothesis for the existence of a cumulative causation process of cultural impact on Greek local development. To test this hypothesis empirically, we employ an original and uniquely compiled dataset of over 130 economic and social indicators about Greece on a NUTS3 level, assembled from various international and local sources. Employing a combined nonparametric partial-least squares path modelling approach, we find evidence that-in contrast to results from other European countries and the USA-in Greece, culture influences not only the human capital, but also the overall labour force structure. This appears to affect not only the economic productivity, but also the overall quality of life in the locality concerned. These results, based on nonparametric estimations, were confirmed through triangulation with parametric 3SLS and structural equation model tests. The latter use of parametric and nonparametric techniques in a mutually complementary manner is one of the novelties in this contribution. JEL Classification Z10 · R11

We use an attitudinal survey to quantify cultural distances between natives and immigrants in the area concerned, and estimate the migrants' varying preferences for both cultural diversity and cultural distance. To account for regional unobserved heterogeneity, our econometric analysis employs artificial instrumental variables, as developed by Bayer et al. (2004a). The main conclusions are twofold. On the one hand, cultural diversity increases regional attractiveness. On the other hand, average cultural distance greatly weakens regional attractiveness, even when the presence of network effect is controlled for.

This paper explores the link between culture and regional development in USA counties by explicitly including an arts variable in an attitudes-driven culture-based development (CBD) production function. The main aims of the research are (1) to revisit the standard CBD model in order to examine whether its findings from the European Union context hold also for the United States and (2) to expand the CBD standard inquiry of local development beyond economic welfare. In relation to the latter, we address in particular (1) the effect of local cultural industries on migration (as a continuation of Florida's hypothesis) and (2) the effect of culture on social well-being (alternatively measured by means of level of happiness and level of crime in terms of property theft). Our paper is, therefore, a novel contribution, providing a better understanding of the link between arts, culture and regional development and also facilitating an innovative evaluation of cultural impact relevant in the developmental debate in an extended socio-economic sense. The data used in this inquiry comprise a composite dataset, a cross section for the year 2000 at the county level combining census data with the cultural vitality index from the Western States Arts Federation and happiness variables from the general social survey panel for 2006. A three-stage least squares exploration of recursive types of a standard CBD and an extended CBD model leads to three main results:(1) the existence of a CBD cultural effect on local development is confirmed for the USA; (2) endogenous cultural industries have an effect on the mobility of human capital, and (3) the impact of cultural effects seems to be more significant when a negative Myrdalian vicious cycle is assumed.
