Wa causes economc grow and us prospery for e people of e world?, n parcular: Were do e uge dfferences n economc grow and developmen wc can be observed across counres n e real world come from?

If muc of e nernaonal dfferences n grow raes are explaned by dverse governmen polces, en wy do publc nsuons n some counres perform sysemacally beer an ose n oer counres? Te dssasfacon w explanaons of cross-counry dfferences n grow and developmen by endogenous varables as led o a recen searc n e leraure for more fundamenal caracerscs of socees a deermne developmen oucomes. Te presen paper pus forward e exsence of a broad mddle class e members of wc sare w eac oer a farly omogenous se of socal orenaons ( mddle-class consensus ) and e socal capal bul by socal neracons and nformal relaonsps wn s mddle class as crcal deermnans of an economy s grow and developmen. Accordngly, s paper s movaed by and relaed o wo recen srands of leraure: Frs, ere s e leraure on e economcs of socal capal wc wll be deal w n some deal n secon below. Secondly, ere s e leraure on e role of e mddle class or, more generally, of nequaly for economc grow and developmen. W respec o e role of e mddle class for economc developmen ere exss an odd dcoomy n economcs beween s sorcal and s analycal brances. On e one and, economc sorans ave long been empaszng e mporance of a large mddle class for economc developmen. E.g. Landes (998) reflecng on England s leadng role n e process of ndusralzaon pons ou a e deal grow and developmen socey would be caracerzed, among oer ngs, by a relavely large mddle class (pp. 7f.). Te developmen leraure and economss, on e oer and, ave been vrually slen on e mddle class. Only recenly, Easerly (00) pus forward e exsence of a mddle-class consensus as a crcal deermnan of nernaonal developmen dfferences. Defnng a mddle-class consensus as a suaon of

Snce mddle class s bo n s general meanng and as defned n e model presened below essenally a dsrbuve caegory, e presen paper s also nexrcably lnked o e large (and ye sll growng) leraure on nequaly and grow. A number of emprcal cross-counry sudes fnd g nequaly measured n several sudes by e sare of qunles 3 and 4,.e. by e sare of e mddle class lnked o poor grow performances.

For example n Agon and Bolon (997), capal marke mperfecons deny e poor o e effcen amoun of nvesmen; w decreasng reurns a e ndvdual level, redsrbuon o e less endowed wll be grow enancng snce e laer s margnal produc s ger. 3 A second economc cannel sems from e fac a nequaly affecs an economy s demand srucure and may erefore nfluence nnovaon ncenves (see Zwemüller (000) or Masuyama (000)) and economc developmen (see Murpy e.al.

In models endogenzng bo economc grow and publc polcy, ncome nequaly 3 A noable excepon are Adelman and Morrs (967, p.30) wo noe a n e economc developmen of Wesern Europe, e mddle class were a drvng force and, accordngly, e grow of a robus mddle class remans of crucal mporance n conemporary low-ncome naons. A survey and overall assessmen of early sudes can be found n Bénabou (996). Noe, owever, a snce e emergence of Dennger s and Squre s (996) new daa se on ncome nequaly e overall emprcal evaluaon of e effecs of nequaly on grow as become muc more blurred. In parcular, Forbes (000) and Barro (000) fundamenally callange prevous fndngs of a negave nequaly-grow relaonsp. However, bo Forbes (000) and Barro (000) use panel daa and esmaon meods, us removng couny-specfc effecs and focusng on sor-erm neremporal varaons, wle e argumen of bo e presen paper and mos of e prevous leraure on nequaly and grow refers o long-run grow effecs of nequaly.

On e Economcs of Socal Capal: A Defnon and Four Sylzed Facs Te soco-economc explanaon of e nequaly-grow lnk proposed n e presen paper s based on e general dea a resources embedded n socal neworks of muual rus and cooperaon reduce ransacon coss and are, us, an mporan deermnan of long-run economc performance. Te concep of socal capal provdes a useful umbrella erm o capure e nuon and growng awareness among some (oug no all) economss a socey maers. 7 Tere s no sngle defnon of socal capal, bu raer varous approaces o e concep exs. For e purpose of s paper, I coose a defnon wc s closely relaed o Coleman s (988, 990) orgnal concep and defne socal capal as e se of soco-srucural (symbolc) resources lke values, norms, roles and moral oblgaons a nere n sysems of socal relaons, or socal aggregaes, and a faclae co-operave beavour wn or beween ese socal aggregaes. Wle as sad varous approaces o e noon of socal capal exs, one can denfy ceran sylzed facs abou socal capal on wc mos socal capal eorss seem o agree. Four of 6 7 Te basc ransacon-coss se-up follows Zak and Knack (00) wo, owever, do no make use of an endogenous grow model bu ulze a neoclasscal producon funcon.

Coleman (988, 990), among oers, empaszes e publc-good caracerscs of soco-relaonal feaures a are useful o ndvduals for specfc acons. Once provded, ese collecve asses and feaures are nonrval n consumpon and ey are avalable o all members of e communy, regardless of wc members acually promoe, susan, or conrbue o suc resources (non-excludably). 8 () Socal capal s produced by ndvdual nvesmen of me and effor, bu n a less drec way an s uman or pyscal capal. As an arbue of e socal srucure n wc a person s embedded, socal capal s no e prvae propery of any of e persons wo benef from. Accordngly, many of e benefs of acons a brng socal capal no beng are experenced by persons oer an e person so acng,.e. ere are posve exernales, and, us, ndvdual ncenves o nves n socal capal are sysemacally depressed. However, many forms of socal neracons and neworks also eer ave nrnsc value or are nexrcably nerwned w prvae, nsrumenal benefs for sngle agens. 9 As a resul, mos forms of socal capal are bul as a by-produc of varous socal acves no necessarly underaken w a vew o srengen socal capal. Punam (993) gves e example a members of Florenne coral socees parcpae because ey lke o sng, no because er parcpaon srengens e Tuscan socal fabrc. () An essenal par of e nsrumenal value of socal capal les n e fac a reduces ransacon coss by provdng an nformal governance srucure agans opporunsc beavor. In 8 9 maers for grow for reasons oer an rus or socal capal. However, ey also sow a one of er ndexes of socal capably may be a useful proxy for socal capal n developng counres. An mporan example s onesy. If eac communy member s ones n commercal ransacons, all of socey benefs due o e reducon of e coss of dong busness. Suc cos reducons are caracerzed bo by nonexcludably and non-rvalness. E.g., accordng o Bur (99) nformaon and nfluence (over one s own auonomy or a of oers) are wo ypes of prvae benefs flowng from socal neworks. However, a rd ype of benef may be denfed n e form of socal soldary nvolvng co-operaon, a sense of socal duy and recprocy no founded on any mmedae payback for ose conrbung o e welfare of oers. 6

9 a world of bounded raonaly, posve ransacon coss and mperfec foresg, conracs are necessarly ncomplee, ncompleely self-enforcng and ncapable of dealng w all relevan aspecs of uman acon and conngences. Furermore, ere exs sysemac ncenves for opporunsc beavor bo before (ex ane) and afer (ex pos) a ransacon akes place. In suc a seng, socal capal can work o reduce ransacon coss by embeddng sngle economc ransacons n a sysem of socal relaons, us acng as an nformal governance srucure agans opporunsc beavor. Among oer ngs, soco-srucural resources a nere n sysems of socal relaons generae expecaons, nformal rules of umb and common undersandngs a allow agens o conduc er personal neracons und busness dealngs effcenly. Welldeveloped neworks are also lkely o reduce ransacon coss bo by reducng searc coss and by renforcng complance w group norms. Fnally, e g levels of rus assocaed w socal capal are crcal for many ransacons a ake place n e conex of an ndvdual formng expecaons abou acons of oers a ave a bearng on s ndvdual s coce of acon, wen a acon mus be cosen before e or se can observe e acons of oers ( Dasgupa (000), p. 330).

Knack and Keefer (997), Knack (999) and Zak and Knack (00) all fnd rus and ncome equaly o be posvely correlaed a e cross-counry level. Usng US sae-level daa, Kawac e. al. (997) also argue a ncome nequaly lowers socal capal. Based on a broad survey of relevan emprcal sudes, Punam (000, p. 359) concludes a bo across space and across me, equaly and fraerny are srongly posvely correlaed ; e goes on o clam a e recen declne n socal capal n e US s lnked o growng nequaly of ncome and weal. 7

10 3. Socal Capal, Transacon Coss, and Economc Grow. A Smple Model To llusrae e basc neracons beween socal capal, ransacon coss and economc grow, le us consder an economy w a connuum of nfnely-lved consumers wo dffer only n er respecve ownersp sares n e economy s aggregae socks of capal and labor. Eac consumer seeks o smoo s consumpon over me by savng. However, o access e capal marke consumers ave o ulze nvesmen brokers. Only e brokers know e acual reurn earned on an nvesmen and us face a moral-azard problem. Te brokers ncenves and opporuny o cea er clens are couneraced by ree poenal governance mecansms: Frs of all, consumers can spend me nvesgang er brokers n order o reduce e laer s ably o cea (prvae governance srucure). Secondly, ere exs formal nsuons, ncludng among oers: fnancal regulaons, nvesgave agences a oversee brokers, and e udcal sysem a enforces conracs and prosecues ceaers (governmenal governance srucure). Trd and fnally, a broker s opporunsm can be sanconed by nformal nsuons (socal governance srucure). Informal sancons depend on, or are faclaed by, a sysem of socal relaons a ranscends e sngle ransacon. Economc ransacons are us embedded n a socal srucure a deermnes e rewards for co-operaon or penales for devaon. Accordngly, nformal sancons wll be e more effecve, e ger an economy s socal capal. Te closed economy modelled below consss of four secors of economc agens: a secor of frms producng e economy s sngle good; an (mplc) governmen secor provdng a governmenal governance srucure wc s fnanced va lump-sum axes pad by prvae ouseolds; a secor of eerogeneous nfnely-lved prvae consumers; and fnally a secor of nvesmen brokers wo are dsnc from consumers and dencal o eac oer n all relevan respecs. Economc agens nerac on a goods marke, a labor marke and a capal marke. 8
