National innovativeness is one key driver of economic development. The relation of national innovativeness and national culture has been firmly established by research. Cultural factors, however, influence national innovativeness via different mechanisms on the macro-, meso-, and micro-level of a country. In our article, we build on existing research on the link between cultural dimensions and national innovativeness to develop a new model that classifies different cultural dimensions in groups according to their mechanism: political, social, or individual (PSI-model). Using a newly established data set composed of world data, we test and find support for this model using a variety of regression models. The PSI-model provides a more structured theoretical background of the impact of different cultural dimensions on national innovativeness, especially with regard to social practices and social values. It can be used to generate policy recommendations on national innovativeness and offers further applications in fields related to the various impacts of national culture.

文化对国家创新的影响：并非每个文化维度都是平等的

国家创新是经济发展的关键驱动力之一。通过研究，民族创新与民族文化的关系已经牢固确立。然而，文化因素通过一个国家宏观、中观和微观层面的不同机制影响国家创新。在我们的文章中，我们基于对文化维度与国家创新之间联系的现有研究，开发了一种新模型，该模型根据其机制将不同的文化维度分类为群体：政治、社会或个人（PSI 模型）。使用由世界数据组成的新建立的数据集，我们使用各种回归模型测试并找到对该模型的支持。PSI 模型为不同文化维度对国家创新的影响提供了更结构化的理论背景，尤其是在社会实践和社会价值观方面。它可用于生成关于国家创新的政策建议，并在与民族文化的各种影响相关的领域提供进一步的应用。
