Abstract

This paper combined social capital theory with the constructed capital model(CC model) of new economic geography(NEG),constructing a model of social capital and industrial agglomeration in regions and studying the micro-mechanism which social capital caused industrial agglomeration.Theoretical analysis showed that the more a region owns social capital,the higher degree industries agglomerated in.By using the data of 26 manufacturing industries in 30 provinces(except Tibet) in 2004,after controlling the influences of location,economic function,market potential,human capital,policy factors,this paper showed that social capital had a significant effect to industrial agglomeration.Thus,we could safely reach the conclusion that promoting social capital in central and western regions helped to establish their self-development capabilities,and narrow regional disparities.
