The neighborhood stores from the institutional economics
Abstract
It is posed an assessment on neighborhood stores and their consumers from the perspective of Institutional Economics. Veblen’s contributions and principles of this economic school are described. Then, this is compared with a sample ofempiric findings from an investigation related with cultural factors as explicative elements of the neighborhood stores’ consumer behavior. It concludes showing the importance of Veblen’s role as leading exponent of the Institutional Economics,as well as the pertinence of this school of thought for the economic analysis, as it grants importance to non-economic variables, in this case cultural, in decisions and conduct of the economic agents.Downloads
