Abstract

El capital social en Colombia no ha sido gran objeto de estudio desde una perspectiva microeconómica, a pesar de que las interacciones entre actores individuales encaminadas a obtener beneficios comunes pueden ser un determinante de los ingresos de los hogares. Este estudio discute y explica la relación entre el capital social y el ingreso de los hogares urbanos en Colombia, y para tal fin utiliza la Encuesta Social de Fedesarrollo (2002) para Bogotá, Medellín, Cali y Barranquilla. El objetivo de este trabajo es el de consolidar un marco teórico que desarrolle el concepto económico del capital social. El modelo teórico planteado concluye que el efecto del capital social sobre el nivel de ingreso es positivo y se transmite a través de un multiplicador del stock del capital humano. En el análisis empírico, el capital social se mide como la participación en asociaciones voluntarias y se adopta el método de variables instrumentales para identificar los determinantes del capital social en Colombia y para examinar la relación causal entre éste y el ingreso. Los resultados sugieren que el capital social horizontal de los hogares afecta positivamente su nivel de ingreso. Se recomienda tener en cuenta las organizaciones sociales horizontales en la elaboración y aplicación de instrumentos de política de largo plazo para aumentar el ingreso y de esta forma mejorar el bienestar. Por último, se propone para estudios futuros, el desarrollo de modelos colectivos que tengan en cuenta los beneficios del capital social y análisis empíricos donde se examine su proceso de acumulación.
