The Impact of Social Structure on Economic Outcomes
回顾社会学家关于社会结构和网络影响经济结果的核心原理,并讨论这些原理如何解释招聘、价格、生产率和创新等经济现象。
The author focus here on sociologists' contributions to the impact of social structure and networks on the economy. Sociologists have developed core principles about the interactions of social structure, information, ability to punish or reward, and trust that frequently recur in their analyses of political, economic and other institutions. The author begins by reviewing some of these principles. Building on these, he then discusses how social structures and social networks can affect economic outcomes like hiring, price, productivity and innovation.
