Abstract
Culture—the set of socially transmitted values and beliefs held by individuals—has important implications for a wide variety of economic outcomes. The causes and consequences of culture have both been the subject of work in historical political economy (HPE). This chapter first outlines several theories on the origins, evolution, and transmission of culture. It then discusses various strategies for measuring culture. Finally, the chapter reviews recent research in HPE that explores the origins of variation in culture and the economic consequences of culture.
