This doctoral thesis shows how human activities are characterized by multiple interconnected contexts and demonstrates the advantages of using a multi-layered model to examine interactions between social, economic and cultural factors. The model presented here offers large benefits for various target groups as it can be applied to a wide range of research fields. Consequently, this analysis supports an interdisciplinary approach to economics. %K behavioral economics, decision-making processes, cultural change, financial crisis, European Values Survey (EVS), social development, cross-cultural studies, environment, economic development, social ecological model %G English
