社会资本对区域经济增长的影响——基于贡献水平与空间溢出效应的分析

The Impact of Social Capital on Regional Economic Growth——Analysis Based on Contribution Level and Space Spillover Effect

在界定社会资本与区域社会资本概念的基础上,分结构、关系、认知三个维度构建测度体系,采用2007—2016年中国内地30个省市自治区(不含西藏自治区)数据测算中国社会资本分阶段分区域的贡献水平和空间溢出效应发现,中国社会资本作用日益增强,地理边界更加明显,同时表现出一定“引力”;发达地区社会资本对当地的经济增长贡献更大,但对其他区域的带动性不强甚至形成虹吸效应,而欠发达地区社会资本对其他区域的溢出效应为正。未来应更好发挥社会资本在经济增长中的积极作用,提升社会资本在西部区域的贡献水平,同时注意防范可能存在的区域不平衡问题。

On the basis of defining the concepts of social capital and regional social capital,a measurement system for regional social capital is constructed from three dimensions:using structure,relationship and cognition dimensions.Firstly,this paper measures the contribution of social capital in different stages and regions in China.The contribution level of social capital is measured and the character is significant,stable and with regional differences.Furthermore,the spatial spillover effect of social capital is analyzed.The results show that the importance effect of social capital is increasing,the geographical boundaries are more obviously and a certain“gravity”is existing.In addition,social capital in developed regions contributes more to local economic growth rather than regions around,and the spillover effect of social capital on others in underdeveloped areas is positive.In the future,we should use give better play to the positive side role of social capital in economic growth,increase the contribution of social capital in the western region,and prevent the possible regional imbalances.
