我们评估了健康和社会资本之间的因果关系，通过个人和社区层面的普遍信任来衡量。本文从两个方面对文献做出了贡献：通过估计一个联立方程模型解决了社会资本和健康之间的内生性和反向因果关系问题，并明确地解释了自我报告信任中的错误报告。我们的估计表明，自我感知的健康和社会资本之间确实存在因果和积极的关系，并且是双向作用的。此外，结构系数的大小表明，个人社会资本是健康的强大决定因素，而社区层面的社会资本在决定健康方面的作用要小得多。版权所有(C)2013 John Wiley&Sons，Ltd.
We assess the causal relationship between health and social capital, measured by generalized trust, both at the individual and the community level. The paper contributes to the literature in two ways: it tackles the problems of endogeneity and reverse causation between social capital and health by estimating a simultaneous equation model, and it explicitly accounts for mis-reporting in self-reported trust.The inter-relationship is tested using data from the first four waves of the European Social Survey for 25 European countries, supplemented by regional data from Eurostat. Our estimates show that a causal and positive relationship between self-perceived health and social capital does exist and that it acts in both directions. In addition, the magnitude of the structural coefficients suggests that individual social capital is a strong determinant of health, whereas community level social capital plays a considerably smaller role in determining health.
