This paper uses the 2005 and 2006 China General Social Survey (CGSS) to study the relationship between social capital and self-reported health in China. It is the most comprehensive analysis of this subject to date, both in the sizes of the samples it analyses, in the number of social capital variables it investigates, and in its treatment of endogeneity. The authors identify social trust, social relationships, and social networks as important determinants of self-reported health. The magnitude of the estimated effects are economically important, in some cases being of the same size or larger than the effects associated with age and income. Their findings suggest that there is scope for social capital to be a significant policy tool for improving health outcomes in China. JEL I1 I18 P25 O53

“…Third, it is reasonable to suspect the existence of reverse causality, since healthier people could have reasons not to be happy. To address these problems, we use instrumental variables estimates, as recently done by Folland (2007), d 'Hombres et al (2010) and Ronconi et al (2010).…”

We test the relationship between happiness and self-rated health in Italy. The analysis relies on a unique dataset collected through the administration of a questionnaire to a representative sample (n = 817) of the population of the Italian Province of Trento in March 2011. Based on probit regressions, instrumental variables estimates and structural equations modelling, we find that happiness is strongly correlated with perceived good health, after controlling for a number of relevant socio-economic phenomena. Health inequalities based on income, work status and education are relatively contained in respect to the rest of Italy. As expected, this scales down the role of social capital.

“…It specifically aimed to investigate whether the workers' health benefits of social relations (as an indicator of structural social capital) are simultaneously individual and collective. In the literature, the association between structural social capital and health of populations is examined at either the individual level (D'Hombres et al 2010;Ronconi et al 2012), the aggregate level (Kawachi et al 1997(Kawachi et al , 1999 or both (Poortinga et al 2006a,b). This paper is an empirical contribution to the debate whether the health benefits of social capital are simultaneously individual and collective.…”

The paper investigates whether social relations are associated with the health of workers after controlling for demographic and worker characteristics, housing features, neighbourhood quality, size of municipality and regional dummies. We consider two level of social relationships: i) individual social relations that we proxy by the frequency of meetings with friends, and; ii) contextual social relations, the average frequency with which people meet friends at the community level. A Heckman selection model is estimated from the worker sample, employing both self-reported and objective health measures using new data from an income and living conditions survey carried out in 2006 by the Italian Statistics Office (IT-SILC). Results show that social relations at the individual level are positively correlated with self-perceived health, negatively associated with chronic condition but not related to limitations in daily activities. Contextual social relations are negatively linked with chronic condition and limitations in daily activities but not correlated with self-perceived health.JEL Codes: C35; I12; I18; Z1
