Abstract

This study uses the Vietnam Access to Resources Household Survey (VARHS) data from 2008 to 2014 to analyse the relationship between socio-political capital and household income in rural Vietnam. We consider six types of socio-political capital (connections with others that create access to useful information and/or benefits) namely Communist Party membership, membership in mass organizations (MOs) and voluntary groups, connections with officials, financial assistance, and trust. Communist Party membership and financial assistance have significant positive effects on household income in the pooling, random, and fixed effects models and at all quantile levels. The effect of trust is also positive and significant in all models but only significant at high quantile levels. Whereas connections with officials show significantly positive effects in the pooling and random effects models and at most quantile levels, the effects of MOs and voluntary groups are negative and significant for some models.
