Cultural economics is the branch of economics that studies the relation of culture to economic outcomes. Programmatic issues include whether and how much culture matters as to economic outcomes and what its relation is to institutions.123http://econ.cudenver.edu/beckman/Econ%204001/Hirshleifer-cascade-jep.pdf4

Topics include economics of the arts and literature,5 religion,67 social norms,8 social capital,910 and social networks.1112 A general analytical issue is how ideas and behaviors are spread between individuals through processes such as social learning, as in the theory of social evolution1314 and information cascades.151617

Methods include case studies and theoretical and empirical modeling of cultural transmission within and across social groups.18192021
