跨体制社会资本及其收入回报

Institution-crossing Social Capital and Its Income Returns

中国渐进式市场化改革使国有部门和非国有部门两种体制并存,产生两种不同的体制性资源。这意味着,当人们的个人关系网络跨越两种体制时,将产生跨体制的社会资本,而体制跨越者将获得包括收入在内的各种经济回报。依据2009年八城市调查数据,对跨体制社会资本收入优势的论点进行实证检验,发现近2/3的被访者建构了体制跨越的社会网络,跨越者的社会资本总量、家庭年收入、个人月均工资收入、获得工资以外的其他收入的机会均高于非跨越者。

China's progressive market reforms have given rise to the coexistence of state and non-state institutions , resulting in two different kinds of institutionally embedded resources.This implies that individuals will gain institution-crossing social capital when their personal networks contain alters who work in the two institutions , and that institution-crossers will obtain various economic returns including income. Analyzing a 2009eight-city survey , we conducted an empirical test of the hypothesis of the income-related advantage of institution-crossing social capital.We find that nearly two thirds of the survey respondents have established social networks bridging the two institutions , and institution-crossers perform significantly better than noncrossers in terms of the total amount of social capital , annual family income , individual monthly wage income , and the opportunities for earning non-wage income.
