| Tiivistelmä: | A standard investment model can be used to analyse and individual's decision to accumulate social capital. The authors analyse facts that support the predictions of this individualbased approach: social capital first rises and then falls with age; social capital declines with expected mobility; social capital is higher among homeowners; social connections fall sharply with physical distance; people who invest in human capital also invest in social capital. The authors fail to find robust evidence that social capital investments fall with the value of time or that geographic/religious groups generate social capital complementarities. |
