本文分析了从荷兰人口中随机抽取的受试者的行为，这些受试者通过经济实验中的投资倾向和奖励投资来揭示他们提供和维持社会资本的能力。我们发现，行为的异质性的特点是几个不对称的男性，年轻人和老年人，以及低学历的个人投资相对较少，但回报显着更多的投资。年龄的影响，以证实现有的研究结果，而那些性别和教育没有。人们发现，对他人投资的预期水平较高，对自己的投资有积极和重大的影响。最后，一个实验室实验与学生科目被发现提供了一个下限的人口水平的社会资本。(c)2006 Elsevier B.V.保留所有权利。
This paper analyzes the behavior of subjects randomly drawn from the Dutch population who reveal their capacity to provide and sustain social capital by their propensity to invest and reward investments in an economic experiment. We find that heterogeneity in behavior is characterized by several asymmetries-men, the young and elderly, and low educated individuals invest relatively less, but reward significantly more investments. The age effects are found to corroborate existing findings, whereas those of gender and education do not. Higher expected levels of investments by others are found to have a positive and significant effect on own investments. Finally, a laboratory experiment with student subjects is found to provide a lower bound of the population level of social capital. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
