市场化改革与社会网络资本的收入效应

社会网络资本是影响收入分配的重要机制。本文将社会网络资本区分为潜在的和动员的两种形式,发现:随着两类社会网络资本的递增,人们的收入回报增加,但回报率递减;随着市场化程度的提高,潜在性社会网络资本的收入回报率递减,但动员性社会网络资本的收入回报率递增,而递增速度随之衰减。本文从资源多元配置方式的相互作用的视角,探讨了社会网络资本收入效应的变化逻辑。

Market Reforms and the Income Effects of Social Network Capital

Social network capital is an important mechanism affecting income distribution. The authors decompose social network capital into the forms of potential and mobilized social network capital, and find that the higher the two forms of social network capital, the higher the income, but the rates of income return decrease with the increase of social network capital. The authors also find that in localities with a higher degree of marketization, the income return to potential social network capital is lower but income return to mobilized social network capital is higher, although the rate of income return is getting lower with increasing marketization. The authors explore the underlying logic of these findings from the perspective of interactions of multiple mechanisms of resources allocation in the context of varied degrees of marketization across localities.
