Abstract:
The relationship between national wealth and national culture has been studied extensively. Economic development has been found to be related to cultural values. Other studies have found a relationship between culture and environmental sustainability. We contribute to this literature by studying the relationship between national culture and a new dependent variable: gross domestic product per capita balanced with environmental sustainability (Weighted GDPC). As predicted, we found that power distance was negatively related to weighted GDPC, whereas individualism was positively related to weighted GDPC. Implications and future research are discussed.
