摘要
电子商务在农村地区的不断普及丰富了农村居民的社会资本构成,虚拟社会资本成为农村居民社会资本的重要配置。本文在社会资本理论的基础上,使用2018年中国农村电商发展调查数据,探讨电子商务对农村居民社会资本的影响。研究结果表明:电子商务不仅促进了农村居民现实社会资本的积累,而且对以社会信任与社会规范衡量的虚拟社会资本的积累也具有显著的促进作用。本文使用倾向得分匹配、Heckman两阶段模型和工具变量法进行稳健性检验,实证结果进一步表明基准回归结果具备稳健性。内在机制分析表明,电子商务的发展通过对农村居民未来的预期产生积极影响,从而促进现实社会资本和虚拟社会资本的积累。因此,政府应推进电子商务在农村地区的普及与发展,提升我国农村居民的社会资本水平,为农村居民增收创造有利条件。
The continuous popularization of e-commerce in rural areas enriches the composition of social capital of rural residents,and virtual social capital becomes the key allocation of social capital of rural residents.Based on the social capital theory,this paper uses the survey data of China’s rural e-commerce development in 2018 to explore the impact of e-commerce on rural residents’social capital.The research results show that e-commerce not only promotes the accumulation of rural residents’traditional social capital,but also significantly promotes the accumulation of virtual social capital measured by social trust and social norms.This paper uses propensity score matching,Heckman two-stage model and instrumental variable method to test the robustness.The empirical results further show that the benchmark regression results are stable.The analysis shows that the accumulation of virtual capital will have a positive impact on the development of rural society in the future.Therefore,the government should promote the popularization and development of e-commerce in rural areas,improve the social capital level of rural residents,and create favorable conditions for increasing rural residents’income.
