“…As indicated by prior research, consumers' attitudes have been significantly affected by religious dogmas and they are strongly inclined to do business with companies that respect and or promote their religious values (Lee, 2013;Mokhlis, 2009). Furthermore, corporations and business entities, particularly foreign companies, should avoid using images, logos and promotional materials that could be seen as offensive to religion and beliefs.…”

Purpose The purpose of the paper is to investigate the effect of religiosity and culture on Nigerian Muslim consumer’s intention to purchase luxury goods. Design/methodology/approach The survey included a sample of 372 Nigerian Muslims from the middle and upper-income groups who live in Lagos and Kano in Nigeria. Findings Plenty of luxury brands are seeking to find ways to overgrow in emerging markets. Focussing on Nigeria, this study identifies Nigerian people’s cultural orientation, religious beliefs and examines the social and personal variables affecting the consumers’ purchasing intention for luxury goods. This study stresses that Nigerian consumers’ intention to purchase luxury products are impacted by attitude, subjective norms and culture. However, Nigerian people’s intention to purchase luxury goods is not influenced by religious beliefs and Islam morals. While culture has a significant relationship with both attitudes towards behaviour and subjective norms, the religious beliefs encourage both subjective norms and a positive attitude towards the behaviour. Research limitations/implications This study has limitations in connection with two of its major objectives. The study applied the perspective of Nigerian Muslims. Thus, the research will not be able to clarify the fact that beyond this limited geographical area. Future research may widen the focus on cultural and religious beliefs on the intention to purchase luxury goods by adding other elements, such as normative beliefs and attitudinal beliefs. Practical implications The findings of the research define some implications for marketers with regard to the importance of social norms and religion in point of increasing the purchasing intention for luxury goods. Findings reflect that Nigerian consumers are impacted by subjective norms and cultural orientation. This means that luxury consuming is seen to achieve social recognition in the society. These results show that improving social acceptance through luxury goods consumption may create profitable outcomes for luxury brand firms. Originality/value The attractive findings of the study proposed that luxury brand managers should balance their investment in terms of the use of word-of-mouth, reference groups and fashion magazines to develop a favourable attitude towards luxury brands through. Although cultural values, references groups and consumer’s beliefs critically matter for luxury consuming, religious beliefs of Nigerian consumers have no effect on consumer’ purchase intention for a luxury product.

“…Четвертый канал влияния основан на сходстве религиозных ценностей как стимула двусторонней торговли стран (Helble, 2007;Kang, Fratianni, 2006), в то время как различия приводят к снижению объемов торговли (Linders, de Groot, 2006;Lee, 2013). Сходство религиозных норм способствуют доверию и сотрудничеству между торговыми партнерами одной религиозной общины (Tan, 2006), что обусловлено созданием общих норм и институтов (Lee, 2013).…”

Раскрыты основные характеристики методологического индивидуализма как применяемого в экономической науке подхода к исследованию общественных явлений и связанного с ним способа представления накопленного знания. Показано, как методологический индивидуализм позиционирован в экономической науке, в которой научноисследовательские программы по Лакатосу конкурируют друг с другом. Исследован вопрос о возможных ограничениях на применение методологического индивидуализма к отношениям между людьми, опосредуемыми языком как средством коммуникации, в том числе в свете процессов социализации, а также различий процесса исследования и способа изложения его результатов. Показано, что в связи с распространением технологий, основанных на искусственном интеллекте, особое значение приобретает вопрос о том, следует ли считать самообучающиеся алгоритмы, успешно проходящие тест Тьюринга, вызовом для применения традиционного понимания методологического индивидуализма в будущих экономических исследованиях. Методологический индивидуализм -один из важных вопросов современной методологии экономической науки, в свете которой в статье рассматриваются различные аспекты соотношения методологических холизма и индивидуализма.

“…Therefore, we estimate our gravity equations using the Poisson Pseudo-Maximum Likelihood (PPML) estimator Santos Silva and Tenreyro (2003) proposed. The PPML estimator is robust even in the presence of heteroskedasticity, and most relevant papers use PPML as the primary estimator of the gravity equation (Lee, 2013;Saslavsky & Shepherd, 2013;Yadav, 2014;Zaninović et al, 2020;Zajc Kejžar et al, 2022;Kern et al, 2021).…”

This paper estimates the gravity of bilateral trade in services at an aggregate level. The aim of the paper is to assess the effects of social and economic factors on the export of services. A large part of the trade-in services is directly or indirectly related to the tourism industry; therefore, the results of this research are mainly discussed from the perspective of the tourism industry. To achieve the paper's aim, we estimate the augmented gravity model on a sample of 5,359 trading partners from 2000 to 2018. We evaluate our model using the Poisson Pseudo Maximum Likelihood estimator. We include various fixed-effect dummies in our model to address the endogeneity issues. Our results show that standard gravity variables such as economic size and distance are significant for service trade. From the tourism industry perspective, it can be concluded that trade in tourism services is determined by the similarity in economic size, proximity, and common socio-economic factors such as common first language and shared religious beliefs. In contrast, common colonial history has no significant effects on service trade.
