在本章中，我们考察了发展中国家农民之间的社交网络。我们使用详细的数据，经济活动和生活在加纳的四个研究村庄的人之间的社会互动。很明显，该地区的经济发展正受到渗透到这些社区的信息、资本和影响力网络的影响。本章探讨这些重要经济网络的决定因素。我们首先描述了这些村庄中明显的信息、资本、劳动力和土地交易联系的模式。然后，我们讨论各种经济网络之间的相互联系。我们将功能性经济网络与人与人之间更基本的社会关系联系起来，进行简化形式的分析。最后，我们提出了一个多维网络形成的均衡模型，为进一步的数据收集和实证研究提供了基础。
In this chapter we examine social networks among farmers in a developing country. We use detailed data on economic activities and social interactions between people living in four study villages in Ghana. It is clear that economic development in this region is being shaped by the networks of information, capital and influence that permeate these communities. This chapter explores the determinants of these important economic networks. We first describe the patterns of information, capital, labor and land transaction connections that are apparent in these villages. We then discuss the interconnections between the various economic networks. We relate the functional economic networks to more fundamental social relationships between people in a reduced form analysis. Finally, we propose an equilibrium model of multi-dimensional network formation that can provide a foundation for further data collection and empirical research.
