Remittances, Bonds and Bridges: Remittances and Social Capital in Burundi
研究了布隆迪城市地区汇款对家庭结构性社会资本的影响，发现接收汇款的家庭更愿意通过参与组织（投入时间）来投资桥梁型社会资本，但在金钱捐赠上较少；对纽带型社会资本的影响则呈现混合效应。
This study explores the effects of remittances on households’ structural social capital in urban Burundi. Distinctions are made between bonding and bridging social capital, referring to intra- versus inter-network ties of family members and friends. The results demonstrate that remittance-receiving households invest more in bridging social capital by participating in organisations (donating time), but make fewer monetary contributions, compared to non-receiving households. Remittances have mixed effects on bonding social capital: receiving households give significantly less gifts to family members and friends, but are more likely to send internal remittances, compared to non-receivers. The implications of these findings for post-conflict development are discussed.
