?:abstract
  • There is a dynamically growing literature on the effects of culture on economic outcomes but few studies have focused on environmental outcomes. We use a very detailed, new dataset on recent success in reducing soil erosion across European regions and find that culture matters. Specifically, we test the hypothesis that regions with a long-term orientation and pro-environmental preferences have recently been more successful in reducing soil erosion. We find that such regions have achieved at least 3% (±1.5%) more erosion mitigation than other regions, and possibly 4.5% (±1.5%). The most important mechanism is the use of cover crops so that the land is covered with vegetation all year round. While a long-term orientation is perhaps less susceptible to change as an intrinsic societal characteristic, we argue that pro-environmental preferences are more sensitive to public policies and might be an effective lever to improve policy outcomes in the agri-environmental domain.
