Resumo: This paper proposes a new proxy of social capital based on the regional density of industrial districts. The advantage of this new proxy is to better deal, at least conceptually, with the main three problems related to the PI advanced by Paldam (2000) which are: the definition of voluntary associations, the intensity of the contacts and the so called “Benignness-weight problem”. In our analysis we show an empirical comparison between the behaviour of our index and that one of the Putnam Instrument across the Italian regions. To do so we use regional data in the 2001 from the Italian National Bureau of Statistics (ISTAT). One of the interesting results from the empirical application is that the new proxy and the Putnam’s instruments present similar patterns, even though with some exceptions.

A vantagem desse novo indicador é lidar melhor, pelo menos conceitualmente, com os três problemas principais relacionados com PI, previstos por Paldam (2000), que são: a definição de associações voluntárias, a intensidade de contatos e o chamado “Problema do peso da bondade”. Em nossa análise, mostramos uma comparação empírica entre o comportamento do nosso índice e um dos Instrumentos de Putnam em todas as regiões italianas. Para tanto, utilizamos dados regionais de 2001 do Instituto Nacional de Estatísticas da Itália (ISTAT). Um dos resultados interessantes da aplicação empírica é que o novo indicador e os instrumentos de Putnam apresentam padrões semelhantes, mesmo que com algumas exceções.UFRGS2015-04-27info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/debates/article/view/5405910.22456/1982-5269.54059Revista Debates; Vol. 9 Núm. 1 (2015): Metodologia(s) nas Ciências Sociais: um balanço necessário; 177-204Revista Debates; v. 9 n. 1 (2015): Metodologia(s) nas Ciências Sociais: um balanço necessário; 177-2041982-52692236-479Xreponame:Revista Debatesinstname:Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)instacron:UFRGSenghttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/debates/article/view/54059/33516Andriani, Lucainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2023-01-10T13:10:23Zoai:seer.ufrgs.br:article/54059Revistahttps://seer.ufrgs.br/debatesPUBhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/debates/oai1982-52692236-479Xopendoar:2023-01-10T13:10:23Revista Debates - Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)false
