Abstract: | The question of how far it is necessary to include cultural factors in the analysis of economic processes has become topical
again in recent years. The first contribution to this Forum introduces a cultural approach to economics. This is followed
by an article that examines the transition processes in central and eastern Europe from an econocultural perspective. The
next article deals with the concept of a country-specific national tax culture and its implications for tax policy, especially
in the context of transformation processes. The final paper discusses Turkey’s economic culture and its possible impact on
the country’s integration into the European Union.
* This outline is in its main parts the result of cooperation with Bernd Remmele and Joachim Zweynert. The author wishes to
express his indebtness to Inga Fuchs for central insights on this subject, and to Michael Wohlgemuth, who helped to finish
this paper in a short period of time.
** This article originates in a research project on the historical and cultural path dependence of the transition processes
in Central and Eastern Europe (with special focus on the Baltic Sea region). The project is carried out jointly by the Hamburg
Institute of International Economics and the University of Hamburg and funded by the VolkswagenStiftung. |
