本文分析了一个包含内生增长和社会资本的多主体OLG模型。个人既可以成为社会信任和相互合作网络的积极组成部分,从而对整个社会资本做出积极贡献,也可以保持社会解体,搭乘社区社会资本的便车。在模型经济中,总产出、整个经济范围内的人力资本和消费都以个人人力资本积累的平均速度增长。不平等的加剧抑制了社区的社会资本,进而降低了经济增长率。
This paper analyzes a heterogeneous-agents OLG model incorporating both endogenous growth and social capital. An individual can either become an active part of the society's networks of trust and mutual cooperation, thus making a positive contribution to overall social capital, or stay socially disintegrated and free-ride on the community's social capital. In the modelled economy, aggregate output and economy-wide human capital and consumption all grow at the average rate of individual human-capital accumulation. An increase in inequality depresses the community's social capital, which in turn lowers the economy's growth rate.
