CASTANEDA, Gonzalo. La cultura como factor condicionante e inercial del desarrollo económico. El trimestre econ [online]. 2006, vol.73, n.289, pp.25-66. Epub 07-Feb-2023. ISSN 2448-718X. https://doi.org/10.20430/ete.v73i289.552.
This paper analyzes economic development through a co-evolutionary process where formal inslilulions linked to the rule of law are transformed jointly with cultural values. This type of dynamic makes possible to attain multiple equilibriums and, hence, economic backwardness is explained by the presence of an "opportunistic" culture that coexists in an environment where illegality prevails. By means of an evolutionary game theory model, it is shown that a low income per-capita scenario is very difficult to eradicate. This is the case because of the existence of a cultural inertia generated by the co-evolution itself, and because of the relevance that remote factors (socio-cultural and geographical) have on determining the probability that the economy can move following certain growth path.
