Abstract

We examine whether and how national culture influences corporate innovation using a newly available comprehensive database on innovation around the world. After controlling for the impacts of formal institutions, and firm-level and country-level variables, we find that culture has relevance for innovation: The probability of a firm innovating is higher in individualistic, indulgent, and long-term oriented societies, as well as in cultures with less power distance, less uncertainty avoidance, and less masculine cultures. In the innovative firms subsample, we continue to find the same significant impact of culture on firms' innovation performance/quality. Our results are robust to endogeneity concerns, different model specifications, alternative measures of innovation and culture, and different subsample analyses.
