Elaborating on Welzel et al.'s "Cool Water Theory," our study zooms into the more limited (albeit still varied) framework conditions of Russia's huge territory. Within Russia's confines, we examine how the combination of moderately cool seasons with steady rain (i.e., Cool Water) affects sub-national areas' contemporary societal progress in two modernization indicators: material prosperity in ...

By happiness, we mean the intensity of emotions people experience while comparing their new income with its expected value, or the target income with its original value. In the first case, ...

This entry explores the current public assistance policies in Brazil, their structure, and effects. A majority of these policies have been developed and implemented gradually in response to the mandated universalization of social security in Brazil's 1988 Federal Constitution. Especially since 2000, Brazil achieved significant success in combating poverty and reducing inequality. This is due, ...

This paper eхamines the phenomenon of medium-sized cities in Brazil, which in recent decades have played an increasingly prominent role in the socio-economic development of the country. The criterion of urban population in a municipality (between 100,000 and 500,000 people) is used to classify cities as medium-sized, but their geographical location and socio-economic characteristics are ...

This article is devoted to the phenomenon of intrinsic motivation, to understand which two models are proposed. We study how positive/negative intrinsic motivation to work (experienced utility) affects worker's individual labour supply (model I) and the amount of effort they exert (model II). In model I, we use intrinsic motivation to explain the positive/negative slope ...

Agglomeration policy has long been a widely accepted approach in spatial development, premised on
the assumption that large, integrated city-regions drive national economic growth through higher
productivity, innovation, and global integration. This paper examines how this paradigm is reworked
under conditions of polycrisis, understood as a durable state of overlapping and mutually reinforcing
economic, geopolitical, and institutional crises. Focusing ...

This paper attempts to model the evolutionary theory of modernization and democratization. The model reflects the key provisions of R. Inglehart and C. Welzel's theory and provides a microfoundation for the adaptation of subjective values to the objective importances of the survival factors and the structure of the labour markets from the perspective of evolutionary ...

We argue that a classification-based approach to measuring cultural differences across countries or subnational regions is a promising complement, and sometimes an alternative, to the widely used dimensional method in cross-cultural research. The latter summarises cultural variation using continuous dimensions, for example, Hofstede’s famous individualism-collectivism dimension. However, this approach relies on strong parametric assumptions, which are ...

Non-probability web surveys offer several advantages over face-to-face (F2F) interviews—they are cheaper, faster, more accessible, and reduce interviewer effects and desirability bias. As such, they are increasingly popular in both academic and commercial research. However, they often yield demographically biased samples, raising concerns about the accuracy of the resulting public opinion estimates. Most studies on ...
