摘要

我们研究了西孟加拉邦农村穆斯林家庭的社会关系与他们获得地方政府分配的福利之间的关系。使用来自西孟加拉邦选定村庄的家庭数据，我们发现，与具有类似网络的印度教家庭相比，具有较高外度中心性的穆斯林家庭从当地政府获得更高比例福利的概率为2个百分点。这种联系对于住房和厕所的好处是积极和重要的。然而，在圣雄甘地全国农村就业保障计划下的工作分配方面，拥有较大网络的印度教家庭获得更多利益。结果表明，网络分布更广的较贫穷的穆斯林家庭获得的福利更多。

Welfare Benefits and Personal Connections in a Democracy: The Case of Muslims in West Bengal

We study the association between social connections of Muslim households and their access to welfare benefits distributed by local governments in rural West Bengal. Using household data from selected villages in West Bengal, we find that Muslim households with higher outdegree centrality are associated with 2 percentage points probability of receiving a higher fraction of benefits from the local government than Hindu households with similar networks. This association is positive and significant for the benefits under housing and toilets. However, for the allocation of work under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme, Hindu households with larger networks obtain more benefits. The results show that poorer Muslim households with a larger spread of network are associated with receiving more benefits.
