“…Tubadji [20], noted for culture-based development thesis, calls culture a dynamic development factor, and development as a "sole function" of culture, and in association with Pelzel [21] calls it an "invisible" factor of development, obviously not as visible as the traditional factors of development of land, labor, capital and organization or entrepreneurship.…”

Economic development, which is sought all over, is a long-term increase in national and per capita income for higher consumption and happiness. It may seem lacking in finer things that go under the name of culture. As such, this study sets to examine the cultural dimensions of economic development, with the case study of the fast-developed small nation of the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The giant developing India is also drawn upon. The objectives of the exercise are to find out the nature and dynamics of economic development and its cultural dimensions or content and thereupon draw policy implications regarding economic and cultural development. The interesting conclusions that follow from the exercise are that, there are invariable cultural dimensions to economic development and that a cultural sector emerges in the course of economic development. More emphasis needs to be given to culture in development policy and planning, without culture, economic development is not wholesome, as the UAE is amicable of wholesome holistic development.

“…Cultural distance is basically the social incentive/restriction (in addition to economic motives) for migration. Put differently, the existence of this stress—the incompatibility between cultures—creates a cultural risk that decreases the attractiveness of a locality to foreigners, such as immigrants and investors, as these actors may incur a cultural cost (of migration and of reallocation of resources, in general) (for more details on cultural risk, see Tubadji ). From an operational point of view, the average of the distances between as many comparable cultural elements as possibly available should then be assessed.…”

“…Finally, the Cultural Gravity Index is positively associated with local productivity, but this index carries a negative connotation (indicates cultural closedness). This means that richer localities are the ones with a higher cultural closedness, which—given the effects of the components of cultural gravity on the particular immigrant groups' productivity—outlines culture (cultural risk specifically) as the factor for the immigrants efficiency in terms of local productivity (for a detailed explanation of the concept of cultural risk, see Tubadji ). This gives us a reason to assume that the source of the negative or insignificant impact from some immigrant groups might be due to the higher cultural distance acting as a barrier to their efficient cultural interactions and contributions to local productivity.…”

This article introduces cultural gravity as a concept that serves to better disentangle the direction and magnitude of the effects from migration, which is controversial in recent literature. The aim is to test for cultural gravity effects on both the geographic concentration and human capital productivity of immigrants in the EU15 countries. Operationally, we proceed to construct an empirical cultural gravity measure and test it with the use of a composite cross‐sectional database, comprising, inter alia, the World Value Survey and Eurostat Census data. After an initial exploration of relevant cultural data by means of multivariate statistical analysis, we present an extended formulation of a gravity model approached through logistic regression methods and a three‐stage least‐squares estimation. Our results clearly demonstrate the existence of a cultural gravity effect among immigrants. Finally, an interesting finding is that cultural gravity also plays a significant role in the context of the Culture‐Based Development (CBD) growth model.

“…The recently developed Culture Based Development (CBD) paradigm (see Tubadji 2012, 2013, Tubadji and Nijkamp 2014 distinguishes the above described two sources of cultural effect into: living culture (a Tieboutian effect) and cultural heritage (a cultural persistence or path-dependence related effect), which are both sources of impacts of local culture on regional development. In recent work by Tubadji and Gnezdilova (2015), cultural attitudes were examined as a driver of local disparities in response to and management of economic shocks.…”

This paper offers an analysis of errors in stochastic forecasts in case of economic shocks, on the basis of local intangible investments and historic cultural persistence in Greece. The main objective of the paper is to demonstrate that local culture is a factor of significance for resistance to economic shocks. To operationalize our study, we use two data sources: (i) the European University Institute (EUI) European Regional Dataset (ERD) which offers a timeseries for Greece on a NUTS-III level for the period from 1980 till 2011, containing information about total employment, sectoral employment (where intangible investment related sectors are captured in the analysis), and gross value added; (ii) the Hellenic Ministry of Culture Permanent List of Designated Archaeological Sites and Monuments in Greece. We analyze the relationship of the forecasting errors with sectoral specialization and cultural milieu. We find evidence for a Tieboutian (local culture and local intangible investment related) foundation for the resistance to economic shocks in Greece in the period 2008 -2011.
