“…25 Besley & Persson (2021) provide another example of complementarities with their study of the dynamics of identity politics and nationalism in a context in which voters have multidimensional cleavages over redistributive policies and immigration policies. 26 In Touré's (2021) study, the dynamics of a culture of entrepreneurship in a social elite 24 Acemoglu (2003) and Acemoglu & Robinson (2001, 2008 are the first to formally study institutional change (without culture). These dynamics also take the form of delegation of power from the elites, not to internalize externalities, though, but rather to avoid social conflict.…”

In this article we survey recent advances in the economic theory of cultural transmission. We highlight three main themes on which the literature has made great progress in the last 10 years: the domain of traits subject to cultural transmission; the microfoundations for the technology of transmission; and feedback effects between culture, institutions, and various socioeconomic environments. We conclude by suggesting interesting areas for future research. Expected final online publication date for the Annual Review of Economics, Volume 15 is August 2023. Please see http://www.annualreviews.org/page/journal/pubdates for revised estimates.

“…Rahman and Alam (2021) and Hussain et al (2022) also believe that population density deteriorates the environment quality in Bangladesh and China. Finally, Lewis growth model discusses the rural excel labor absorbing ability of urban centers with the industrialization (Todaro and Smith, 2009) leading to increase in population density in urban centers. This complex nature of relationship requires this factor to be controlled while assessing the effect of industrialization on CO 2 emissions.…”

“…Efficiency gains and innovation can lead to cost savings for companies in SAARC countries, making them more competitive in the market. However, it is important to note that cost savings should not come at the expense of environmental sustainability or social welfare (Touré, 2021).…”

Purpose This study has incorporated competitiveness by considering it a significant factor behind determining as well as moderating industrial value added in the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) framework. This study aims to explore the moderating role of competitiveness policy in EKC with an aim to promote business led sustainability at national level. Design/methodology/approach Considering the environmental deterioration aspect of industrialization, this study tests the existence of EKC for SAARC countries using the data from 1996 to 2021 using second-generation static panel data model. Findings Estimated results have validated that moderating effect is responsible for improving environmental sustainability in SAARC countries. Furthermore, population density is responsible for increasing while trade openness is responsible for decreasing carbon emissions. Originality/value Higher industrial activities are a symbol of upward-moving economic growth. But its other impact is in the form of environmental deterioration. However, the relationship between industrialization and environmental quality can be identified through EKC.

What feeds on what? Networks of interdependencies between culture and institutions

Culture and institutions both matter in shaping trajectories for socioeconomic progress. As the debate on causal directionalities between culture and institutions is still ongoing, we recast its perspective: a complex network of symbiotic relationships ties a multitude of cultural and institutional factors together. We blend the institutional complementarities literature with symbiosis theory, and place it into the context of a data-driven approach that extends correlation network analyses. We frame each single interdependence between a cultural and an institutional factor as an asymmetric symbiotic relationship in which a ‘host’ feeds a ‘symbiont’: the latter is more dependent on the former. In our computed network, each relation locates within a broader context of pathways and network constellations. We apply our approach to Brazilian municipal data. Our results confirm high complexity in the coevolution of culture and institutions and suggest an emerging pattern in which cultural factors are more likely to be hosts than institutions or social capital. In the Brazilian municipal reality, the institutional innovation of participatory councils bears the potential of game-changer in the system, while tax collection strongly depends on cultural factors i.e. the (in)formality of the economy and family ties.
