该研究利用欧洲联盟国家的数据，促进文化作为创新和竞争能力的长期战略工具的作用。最近的大衰退（2008-2013年）是宏观条件广泛差异的案例研究。根据推论，受大衰退影响较大的经济体的创新能力和竞争力表现应该比受影响不那么严重的国家更差。然而，本研究得出的经验证据并不支持这一假设。文化影响创新和竞争能力，从而影响增长前景，而不论当前的宏观条件如何。社会学习和组织结构对文化的影响有显著影响。一个拥有或正在发展一种支持创新文化的社会，即使在不利的宏观条件下，未来也能表现得更好。相反，反创新文化阻碍创新和竞争力，即使政策制定者改善了宏观环境。
The study promotes the role of culture as a long-term strategic instrument for innovation and competitiveness capacities, using data on European Union countries. The recent Great Recession (2008–2013) serves as a case study of macroconditions' broad differences. A priori, economies where effects from the Great Recession are greater should display deteriorated innovation capacity and competitiveness performance, more than in countries where effects are less severe. The empirical evidence derived by this study, however, does not support this hypothesis. Culture affects innovation and competitiveness capacities, and thus growth prospects, irrespective of prevailing macroconditions. Social learning and organizational structure exemplify culture's influence. A society that has or is developing a pro-innovation culture can perform better in the future, despite adverse macroconditions. In contrast, an anti-innovation culture hinders innovation and competitiveness, even if policymakers improve macroconditions.
