Culture, Institutions and Policy

Guido Tabellini and Torsten Persson

No 15233, CEPR Discussion Papers from Centre for Economic Policy Research

Abstract: We review theoretical and empirical research on the dynamic interactions between cultures and institutions. We think about culture as a system of values and about institutions as formalized rules of the game. Our presentation is organized around a simple theoretical framework of political agency, which is gradually expanded so as to introduce new links and feedbacks between culture and institutions.
