Abstract(s)
Recentemente, a cultura começou a ser entendida como um factor que influencia o desempenho
económico, afectando valores e características pessoais de cada indivíduo. Assim, a
religião apresenta-se como uma das mais importantes dimensões da cultura, sendo importante
o estudo da sua relação com o desempenho económico. Durante o presente estudo, procurámos
compreender a relação entre a tecnologia e a religião, e consequentemente, o modo como influenciam
o crescimento e desenvolvimento económico. O estudo baseou-se na análise da taxa
de aderência populacional a cada religião, permitindo quantificar a parte religiosa; e na análise
de 16 tecnologias e de algumas variáveis como a educação que podem influenciar a adopção de
tecnologia por parte dos indivíduos, aplicando-se a 212 países entre os anos 1970 e 2000.
