WEBINAR: Associate Professor Johan P Larsson: The promise of social capital as a regional science: theory and measurement
The network aspects of the social capital concept render it at its heart a regional science to the extent that networks are regionally bounded. And by and large they are. Key to the argument is that centrality in networks, ability to bridge nodes in networks, knowledge spillovers and several other pertinent concepts are all hampered by distance. While far from ignored in previous social capital research, the role of the region in mediating social capital transactions has been underplayed in the empirics of social capital.
