“…In light of the increasing globalization of business and immigration flows, studying overseas migrant communities and ethnically diverse diasporas becomes particularly relevant for attracting FDI and consequently fostering potential economic growth (c.f. Tubadji and Nijkamp, 2015). In this context, Milleli et al (2010) convincingly suggest that Chinese outward FDI promotes medium-and high-skilled employment growth in the host country.…”

Human behaviour and economic growth: A psychocultural perspective on local and regional development

2018

A renewed emphasis on behavioural traits has emerged as a means of explaining regional and local differences in economic performance and development. Given this, the aim of this study is to identify distinct local psychocultural behavioural profiles and to examine the extent to which these are associated with economic growth. Combining theories of community culture and personality psychology into a holistic spatially-oriented perspective, the paper argues that the types of human behaviour found across local places emerges from the co-evolution of cultural and personality factors. An empirical analysis of localities in Great Britain identifies and explores three underlying psychocultural profiles: Diverse Extraversion; Inclusive Amenability and Individual Commitment. It is found that inclusive amenable and individually committed psychocultural behaviour generally appear to hold back local economic growth, with the exception of recessionary periods. The reverse relationship is somewhat the case for diverse extravert behaviour. It is concluded that a better understanding of the holistic relationship and co-evolution of the cultural and psychological behavioural make-up of localities and regions has the potential to provide new insights into expected development outcomes as well as the forms of policy intervention that are required within regions and localities, each of which has its own individual psychocultural character.Key words: behaviour; personality psychology; community culture; Big Five personality traits; economic growth; localities.

“…In particular, according to CBD, there exists a mechanism of cultural gravity, driven by the fact that every rational human choice is subject to a locally specific cultural (maybe irrational) bias (see Tubadji and Nijkamp 2015).…”

“…The first gear of the CBD mechanism is clearly neo-Weberian in nature, while the second gear is the cultural interaction gear where local economic choices get biased by the clash between local milieu and existing cultural distances between immigrants and locals, i.e. by cultural gravity (see Tubadji and Nijkamp 2015 for more details).…”

“…Therefore, the relevance of cultural factors for local development in this specific context may be expected to be statistically significant as well. Thus far, however, both the established literature and newly emerging contributions such as CBD and alike (Tubadji and Nijkamp 2015;Huggins and Thompson 2015) have not paid attention at all to the possibly interesting case of Greece.…”

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
