(2009-11-20T11:10:01Z) Parts, Eve
The aim of this dissertation was to identify the similarities and differences between Western European (WE) and Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries concerning the composition, determinants and economic effects of social capital. The actuality of the topic is related to the growing awareness of the importance of social context and intangible assets in the process of economic development. Analysing the determinants and economic effects of social capital concurrently in the same study enables to propose the policies that support the accumulation of those forms of social capital that are beneficial to economic growth. The research confirmed that social capital is a multidimensional concept which is empirically stable in different countries. It was proved that different components of social capital have different sources, which can additionally differ in different country groups and different levels of analysis. The social capital components with the most widespread effect on economic growth, including both direct and indirect influence channels, were helping, political activity and social norms. The direct effect of social capital on economic growth and human capital appeared to be different in WE and CEE countries, while indirect effect through investments was rather similar. The main theoretical contribution of this dissertation lies in creating an integrated framework that connects social capital components simultaneously with their determinants and economic effects. This framework was implemented for investigating the similarities and differences in social capital between WE and CEE countries. In terms of empirical contribution, the results in this dissertation support some previous findings, but provide also new knowledge on the topic in the substantially extended framework.
