Abstract

El capital social es uno de los conceptos que apareció recientemente de manera formal en la economía. Proveniente de otras tradiciones teóricas, el término alude a la dimensión cultural de un grupo social, representado principalmente por sus niveles de confianza. Este trabajo pretende estimar el acervo de capital social en México bajo el enfoque de las asociaciones horizontales de Putnam. Específicamente se trata de construir indicadores de capital social, ordenar a los estados de México y observar si para el caso de México se sigue la hipótesis de Putnam de dos regiones delimitadas en sus niveles de capital social; asimismo se pretende aportar, de manera exploratoria, evidencia sobre el crecimiento de los niveles de capital social, sus determinantes y sobre su relación con el desempeño económico de los estados y regiones de México./ One of the concepts appearing in a formal way in the economy recently is the social capital. From other theoretical traditions, the term refers to the cultural dimension of a social group, represented mainly by their level of trust. This paper attempts to estimate the wealth of social capital in Mexico under the focus of Putnam’s horizontal associations. Specifically it comes to building social capital indicators to rank the states of Mexico and see if in the case of Mexico is still the assumption of two regions (such as Putnam argues) bounded in their levels of social capital; also aims to provide, so exploratory, evidence of growth in levels of social capital, its determinants and their relation with the economic performance of states and regions of Mexico.
