Values convergence across countries
SSRN-Product-Based Cultural Change: Is the Village Global? by Nicolas Maystre, Jacques Olivier, Mathias Thoenig, Thierry Verdier
this is pay-to-view except if you have a subscription; but the abstract begins:
"Using answers to the World Values Survey for a sample of 79 countries over the 1989-2004 period, we first provide evidence of cultural homogenization between countries."
As well as this impressive result, the study shows which countries are more or less similar, and argues with some empirical support that trade openness promotes homogenisation.
Would be interesting to explore internal non-massifcation too.
