本文提出的证据表明，“社会资本”的事项可衡量的经济业绩，使用的信任和公民规范的指标，从世界价值观调查的样本29个市场经济体。在正式群体中的职位--普特南的社会资本衡量标准--与信任或经济表现的改善无关。我们发现，在收入更高、更平等的国家，在限制首席执行官掠夺性行为的制度下，在受教育程度更高、种族更单一的国家，信任和公民规范更强。
This paper presents evidence that ''social capital'' matters for measurable economic performance, using indicators of trust and civic norms from the World Values Surveys for a sample of 29 market economies. Memberships in formal groups-Putnam's measure of social capital-is not associated with trust or with improved economic performance. We find trust and civic norms are stronger in nations with higher and more equal incomes, with institutions that restrain predatory actions of chief executives, and with better-educated and ethnically homogeneous populations.
