“…For the importance of inclusion of the operating environment in an efficiency analysis, see e.g. Holý (2020). To remove the trend in time but to keep differences in levels between countries, we define our GDP Level variable as the difference between the logarithm of GDP per capita in USD current prices and the logarithm of the mean GDP per capita in each year.…”

What role does culture play in determining institutions in a country? This paper argues that the establishment of institutions is a process originating predominantly in a nation's culture and tries to discern the role of a cultural background in the governance of countries. We use the six Hofstede's Cultural Dimensions and the six Worldwide Governance Indicators to test the strength of the relationship on 94 countries between 1996 and 2019. We find that the strongest cultural characteristics are Power Distance with negative effect on governance and Long-Term Orientation with positive effect. We also determine how well countries transform their cultural characteristics into institutions using stochastic frontier analysis.
