Abstract

Employing sub‐national panel data for 1,204 regions from 1980 to 2010, we show that regional appreciation of the cultural value Independence has a positive and statistically significant association with regional per capita income, whereas the value Obedience exerts a negative effect. Our data allow us to exploit within country‐year variation by including country‐time fixed effects to mitigate issues of omitted variable bias which are usually present when analysing cross‐national data. A large array of robustness tests supports an effect of cultural values on regional per capita income. Interacting regional culture with national institutions reveals that stronger national institutions moderate the impact of the regional cultural values. Se hizo uso de datos de panel a escala subnacional para 1204 regiones entre 1980 y 2010 con el fin de mostrar que la apreciación regional del valor cultural Independencia tiene una asociación positiva y estadísticamente significativa con el ingreso per cápita regional, mientras que el valor Obediencia ejerce un efecto negativo. Los datos nos permiten explotar la variación anual dentro del país mediante la inclusión de efectos fijos de país‐tiempo para mitigar los problemas de sesgos por omisión de variables, que suelen estar presentes cuando se analizan datos entre países. Una amplia gama de pruebas estadísticas de robustez respalda el efecto de los valores culturales en el ingreso regional per cápita. La interacción de la cultura regional con las instituciones nacionales revela que el fortalecimiento de las instituciones nacionales modera el impacto de los valores culturales regionales. 本稿では、1980~2010年までの1,204の地域の地方レベルのパネルデータを用いて、地域の文化的価値の独立を尊重することは、地域の一人あたり所得とプラスかつ統計的に有意な関連性があるが、服従を尊重することはマイナスの影響があることを示す。我々のデータは、国際比較データを分析する場合に存在する欠落変数バイアスの問題を軽減する、国/時間固定効果を含めることにより、国/年の変動範囲内で利用することができる。頑健性の検定結果は、地域の一人あたり所得に対する文化的価値の影響を支持する。国家機関との相互反応を示す地域文化は、より強い国家機関が地域の文化的価値の影響を和らげることを示している。.
