Bridging versus Bonding Social Capital and the Management of Common Pool Resources
研究凝聚型和连接型社会资本对公共池塘资源管理的影响，基于中国云南薪柴采集数据，发现两者均减少资源提取但相互削弱，且连接型资本对贫困家庭或高森林质量地区效果更显著。
Social capital facilitates community governance of common pool resources (CPRs), but not all social capital is alike. We argue that bonding social capital can improve CPRs management, while the effect of bridging social capital is mixed, depending on household poverty level and resource quality. We test these predictions using primary data from Yunnan Province in China on firewood collection on communal lands. We find that both bonding and bridging social capital decrease firewood extraction, but they erode each other’s effect. Further, bridging social capital decreases firewood collection mainly for those near subsistence levels, or when forest quality is high. <i></i>
