合法性影响社会资本的回报。我开始从社会资本的网络结构开始，解释结构性漏洞的信息和控制效益。网络中的漏洞是增加价值的创业机会，拥有这种机会的人有望比同龄人更成功。累积的实证研究支持这一预测。然而，这里的女性提出了一个难题。与高层男性早期晋升有关的企业家网络对女性不起作用。解决性别之谜是一个机会，看看社会资本的网络模型可以用来识别不被接受为人口的合法成员，并描述这些人如何通过借用战略伙伴的网络来获得社会资本。
Legitimacy affects returns to social capital. I begin with the network structure of social capital, explaining the information and control benefits of structural holes. The holes in a network are entrepreneurial opportunities to add value, and persons rich in such opportunities are expected to be more successful than their peers. Accumulating empirical research supports the prediction. However, women here pose a puzzle. The entrepreneurial networks linked to early promotion for senior men do not work for women. Solving the gender puzzle is an occasion to see how network models of social capital can be used to identify people not accepted as legitimate members of a population, and to describe how such people get access to social capital by borrowing the network of a strategic partner.
