“…The critical point from these papers is that culture determines the initial conditions for socio-economic processes observed at any given point of time, and therefore it can be regarded as a protoinstitution, which in the hierarchy of institutions precedes all other institutions and endogenous resources. These are the reasons why CBD claims that any model is underspecified if the cultural factor is not taken into consideration (Tubadji, 2014) and fixed effects alone do not fully or correctly account for the cultural impact (Tubadji, 2020b). The main premise of the CBD paradigm that unites these studies is that the cultural bias of economic choices predetermines the operation and outcome of any socio-economic system (Tubadji, 2012(Tubadji, , 2013(Tubadji, , 2020a.…”

The UK has experienced substantial income and wealth inequalities at the individual and regional levels. The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic reveals how inherited domestic economic and cultural disparities lead to greater vulnerability, even in front of the 'Great Leveller'. We argue that the geography of the pandemic in the UK follows the geography of deprivation and cultural and economic discrimination that existed before the pandemic. We demonstrate this through analysis of multiple deprivation and cultural (ethnic) concentration data, unemployment claims, and small business statistics, as well as lung cancer deaths in non-pandemic times and weekly death statistics during the early part of the pandemic (3/1/2020 until 27/03/2020) across England and Wales.We apply data decomposition analysis to detect this discrimination and map it against the geography of the pandemic. Our study not only illustrates the geography of the pandemic disease but also demonstrates how past cultural and economic discrimination creates vulnerable groups and places among the general public in times of exogenous shocks. Finally, we discuss our findings in light of the emerging impact of Brexit.

This paper aims to clarify the role of culture as a public good that serves to preserve mental health. It tests the evolutionary hypothesis that cultural consumption triggers a microeconomic mechanism for the self-defense of mental health from uncertainty. The COVID-19 pandemic offers a natural experiment of cultural consumption under increased uncertainty. Using primary data from a pilot survey conducted online during the pandemic and applying Probit and Heckman selection models, the study analyzes levels of happiness and propensity to help others. The results suggest that past consumption of culture is associated with higher happiness levels during crises. Moreover, spontaneous cultural practices (such as group singing) during times of uncertainty are associated with an increase in the pro-social propensity to help others. These findings highlight culture as a tool for promoting mental health at the micro level and social capital resilience at the aggregate level.
