- The presence of gambling is inversely related to nomadic herding as a society's primary mode of production (276).Pryor, Frederic L. - The origins of the economy: a comparative study of distribution in primitive..., 1977 - 2 Variables
Considerable disagreement exists in regard to the origin and distribution of economic phenomena such as money, slavery, markets, exchange, and imbalanced transfers. Here the author utilizes a worldwide cross-cultural sample of 60 pre-industrial "societies" to empirically test many economic hypotheses, with a focus on distributional mechanisms and institutions.

Related Hypotheses Cite More By Author - External and internal commercial money most likely emerged before noncommercial money (407).Pryor, Frederic L. - The origins of money, 1977 - 1 Variables
This article examines the origin of money. Anthropologists’ and economists’ theories are discussed and data supports a broad hypothesis that the existence of money is associated with level of economic development. The author further examines the emergence of internal, external, commercial and noncommercial moneys at high and low levels of economic development.

This article presents a cross-cultural analysis of the characteristics of mobile pastoral groups to determine if similar groups were likely in prehistory in the central Balkans. The author reviews Johnson’s (2002) classification of pastoral adaptation modes and his analysis largely confirms her preliminary findings. He finds, however, that subsistence and economic specialists tend to have higher mobility, a variable in turn associated with high seasonal variability.

This study examines the relationship between population pressure and socioeconomic complexity in a cross-cultural sample of hunter-gatherer groups. The author suggests a causal component to the positive correlations found, arguing that increasing population pressure on food resources requires increasing storage dependence, which in turn drives sedentism and other indicators of socioeconomic complexity.
