Replication Data for: Political Cultures: Measuring Values Heterogeneity

Using data from the World Values Survey, we analyze the extent to which value consensus exists within countries. To do this, we introduce a statistical model which allows us to generate country-level measures of cultural heterogeneity. Our statistical approach models each country as mixture of subcultures that are shared across the world. Our results demonstrate that value consensus varies substantially across countries and regions. We discuss possible applications of our measure of cultural heterogeneity which may be used as an independent variable in analyses of economic development or civil conflict or as an outcome variable in explorations of the long-run determinants of cultural diffusion.
