{"product_id":"culture-in-economics-sjoerd-beugelsdijk-9780521193009","title":"Culture in Economics: History, Methodological Reflections and Contemporary Applications","description":"Many economists now accept that informal institutions and culture play a crucial role in economic outcomes. Driven by the work of economists like Nobel laureates Douglass North and Gary Becker, there is an important body of work that invokes cultural and institutional factors to build a more comprehensive and realistic theory of economic behavior. This book provides a comprehensive overview of research in this area, sketching the main premises and challenges faced by the field. The first part introduces and explains the various theoretical approaches to studying culture in economics, going back to Smith and Weber, and addresses the methodological issues that need to be considered when including culture in economics. The second part of the book then provides readers with a series of examples that show how the cultural approach can be used to explain economic phenomena in four different areas: entrepreneurship, trust, international business and comparative corporate governance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sjoerd Beugelsdijk, Robbert Maseland\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521193001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521193009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/23\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 408\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 5.90w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2011","brand":"Sjoerd Beugelsdijk","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45064492581119,"sku":"9780521193009","price":140.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5783270b-9cc0-47d0-9476-c93fa46048dd.jpg?v=1712124452","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/culture-in-economics-sjoerd-beugelsdijk-9780521193009","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
