Samenvatting:

The main objective is testing the application of a multi-level framework in order to reveal the ecological influences on human behavior and decision-making processes that impact social and economic development. It is also tested whether a multi-level framework is able to reveal links between social and economic development and cultural change.

Understanding human behavior and decision-making processes is a significant challenge within many fields of research. 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.
