Sherman Folland

Chapter 2 in Elgar Companion to Social Capital and Health, 2018, pp 11-18 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This chapter introduces social capital concepts and explains the main hypotheses described in the economic approach. Health economists develop multivariate regressions where several of the independent variables are chosen to represent social capital. The dependent variable is chosen to represent health. Various covariates are included to adjust for extraneous factors.
