Social capital and poverty in Uganda

This paper investigates the links between social capital and household poverty in Uganda. It assumes a two-way causal relationship between poverty and access to social capital. This suggests an endogeneity problem, so the paper uses econometric techniques that control for endogeneity. Using two nationally representative datasets, the authors' analyses revealed that access to social capital defined in terms of membership of social organisations positively affects household income and reduces poverty. Education was the key determinant of income and increases the probability of joining social networks. Their results further show that household income and welfare are positively associated with access to social capital or group participation. This suggests that government strategies to increase household income that take into consideration existing social institutions will go a long way to encourage associational growth and performance and consequently reduce poverty.     

Social capital of black business owners

Analysis of data from the 1982Characteristics of Business Owners Survey reveals that there are some differences between the social capital (social resources available from group support networks) of black business owners and those of other ethnic groups. Black owners have had less exposure to entrepreneurial role models and training in firms run by close relatives than Asian, Hispanic, or nonminority male owners. They do not rely on their relatives or friends for business loans to the same extent as Asians, and show less such reliance than the other groups as well. Black owners compare favorably with Hispanics and nonminority males in using family funds as a source of nonborrowed capital, but are behind Asians. Black firms are relatively more likely to sell to minority customers and hire minority employees. Finally, black owners are the least likely to be married, which indicates some diminished help from the family, a key institution in group support networks.

保险资金投资基础设施模式研究及风险控制

新保险法的颁布标志着保险业投资不动产的渠道已经打开,意味着进一步拓宽保险资金运用渠道的格局已经形成。基础设施建设周期长、投资回报稳定安全,非常适合保险资金运用要求,保险资金投资基础设施无疑是一种明智的选择。保险资金投资基础设施目前可选择市政债券模式、贷款模式和资金信托模式等。我国保险业对这个领域的投资缺乏专业经验,有效控制投资中出现的风险至关重要。     

Social capital and technical information flows in the Ghanaian manufacturing sector

Social capital in the form of entrepreneurial networks is foundto be a determinant of Ghanaian manufacturing enterprise performance.Entrepreneurs with larger, more diverse sets of contacts havemore productive enterprises. Entrepreneurs also benefit fromthe networking activity of others. There is some evidence thatthe networks facilitate flows of knowledge between enterprises.A simple theoretical model indicates that where such flows takeplace, there is a potential for sustained endogenous economicgrowth. However, in Ghana, the flows are not sufficiently complementaryto the enterprises' own knowledge for this potential to be realized.

银行的资本结构与资本监管

在资本构成上。银行与非金融企业有很多相同之处。但是，银行相对于非金融企业，其性质比较特殊。银行的活动具有巨大的外部性和社会成本，因而有权机构对银行采取了一定的监管措施。资本监管就是其中最有效、最流行的措施之一。国际银行业逐步建立以资本监管为核心的风险监管体系。而普通工商企业却没有建立任何资本监管框架。因此，非常有必要研究银行资本及其结构相对于一般企业的特殊性以及资本监管框架。     

Social capital and self-organised collective action: Lessons and insights from a South African community project

ABSTRACT

Through the lens of new institutional economics, this paper provides exploratory analysis of the elements of social capital behind the success of self-organised collective action in a longstanding and effective community-based conservation and development project. Our qualitative institutional analysis suggests that critical elements of project-level structural social capital in the Umgano project case study include: forward-thinking and capable leadership; long-standing partnerships with external agencies; sound operational structures and management; and legitimate participation facilitated by forms of representation that are transparent and accountable to constituents. In accordance with the theory, insights from the study also indicate that successful collective action relies on processes of long-term and earnest trust building, within and across communities, and between communities and external agents. Such insights serve as a point of reference for role-players in similar community-based projects and have the potential to inform future research on resource governance in South Africa.     

Social roles, human capital, and the intrahousehold division of labor: evidence from Pakistan

Using detailed data from rural Pakistan, this paper investigateswhether human capital, learning-by-doing, gender, and familystatus affect the division of labor within households. Resultssuggest the presence of returns to individual specializationin all farm, non-farm, and home based activities. The intrahouseholddivision of labor is influenced by comparative advantage basedon human capital and by long-lasting returns to learning-by-doing,but we also find evidence of a separate effect of gender andfamily status. Households seem to operate as hierarchies withsexually segregated spheres of activity. The head of householdand his or her spouse provide most of the labor within theirrespective spheres of influence; other members work less. Whenpresent in the household, daughters-in-law work systematicallyharder than daughters of comparable age, height, and education.Other findings of interest are that there are increasing returnsto scale in most household chores, that larger households workmore off farm, and that better educated individuals enjoy moreleisure.

资本的权力与资本收入的性质

经典作家们关于资本收入性质的分析无疑是正确的。但在今天讨论资本收入是不是剥削收入时,应结合新的历史条件和新的实际来做科学的回答。我们认为,不能把我国现实中存在的私人资本收入一概认定为剥削收入,应该具体情况具体分析。     

河南区域性资本市场构建研究

中小企业是河南经济发展的主力军,其发展之瓶颈是融资难。主要原因是直接融资市场上主板和创业板标准高、容量小,无法满足中小企业上市需求;间接融资市场天生不适合中小企业融资。设立河南区域性资本市场,充分发挥其功能与作用,有利于中小企业融资与创新以及资本资源优化配置。河南区域性资本市场建设重点是打造较低层级的地方性资本市场,即设立郑州证交所、河南柜台市场以及培育一定数量的风险投资基金。
