Abstract

We examine factors affecting entry and contribution to an association that provides different goods using social capital formed by heterogeneous firms in a political economy environment. We model and solve a game that explains investments to form social capital within associations and determine the effect on the intensive and extensive marginal contributions to the association related to the government’s susceptibility to influence. Association products such as capital goods for members or lobbying the government to influence regulation affect membership and contribution decisions. Government influenceability also affects the decision to contribute to social capital, but it varies with agent productivity and association output. Often, an increase in government influenceability increases social capital in associations composed of high productivity agents because they prefer to influence policy while low productivity agents focus on production.
交友影响他人:影响社团中社会资本的进入和贡献决策
我们研究了在政治经济环境中,异质企业利用社会资本提供不同商品的协会的进入和贡献的影响因素。我们建立模型并解决了一个博弈,该博弈解释了在协会内部形成社会资本的投资,并确定了政府对影响的敏感性对协会的集约化和外延化边际贡献的影响。协会产品,如为会员提供的资本货物或游说政府影响监管,影响会员和捐款的决定。政府影响力也会影响社会资本贡献决策,但会随代理人生产率和协会产出而变化。通常,政府影响力的增加会增加由高生产率主体组成的协会中的社会资本,因为它们倾向于影响政策,而低生产率主体则侧重于生产。
