作为文化特征网络的文化：测量文化和文化距离的统一框架
Cultures as networks of cultural traits: A unifying framework for measuring culture and cultural distances
摘要：
利用《世界价值观调查》提供的信息，对国家文化下一个既包括具体文化特征的相关性又包括它们之间的相互依存性的定义，本文提出了一种既考虑文化特征的差异又考虑网络结构差异的方法，以揭示民族文化的潜在结构并测量国家间的文化距离民族文化。利用Copula图形模型为离散数据提供的可能性，本文推断了WVS（Wave 6）中所有国家的文化网络，并提出了一个新的统一框架来衡量国家文化和国际文化距离。杰弗里斯的Copula图形模型之间的分歧，作为国家之间的文化距离的措施，抓住了文化距离的两个组成部分的正交性：一个基于文化特征和一个基于网络结构之间。此外，这两个组成部分被证明与不同的国家和结构特征的文化网络，从而涵盖了不同的信息集有关的国家文化。
英文摘要：
Making use of the information from the World Value Survey (WVS), and operationalizing a definition of national culture that encompasses both the relevance of specific cultural traits and the interdependence among them, this paper proposes a methodology to reveal the latent structure of national culture and to measure cultural distance between countries that takes into account both the difference in cultural traits and the difference in the network structure of national cultures. Exploiting the possibilities offered by copula graphical models for discrete data, this paper infers the cultural networks of all the countries included in the WVS (Wave 6) and proposes a novel unifying framework to measure national culture and international cultural distances. The Jeffreys' divergence between copula graphical models, taken as the measure of cultural distance between countries, captures the orthogonality of the two components of cultural distance: the one based on cultural traits and the one based on the network structure among them. Moreover, the two components are shown to correlate with different national and structural characteristics of cultural networks, thus encompassing the different informational sets related to national cultures.
