چکیده

پژوهش حاضر با استفاده از داده‌های ترکیبی استان‌های ایران طی دوره‌ی زمانی 1392-1385، به بررسی تأثیر اندازه دولت (سهم مخارج مصرفی و عمرانی دولت از تولید ناخالص داخلی) بر سرمایه اجتماعی پرداخته است. در این راستا، بر اساس رهیافت پاتنام و کلمن برای اندازه‌گیری سرمایه اجتماعی در استان‌های کشور، سه سطح مشارکت، اعتماد و انسجام درنظر گرفته و به‌منظور ترکیب شاخص‌های مورد استفاده در این سطوح، از روش تحلیل عاملی استفاده شده است. برآورد الگو‌ها نیز با استفاده از تحلیل‌های هم‌جمعی ترکیبی و روش گشتاورهای تعمیم‌یافته انجام شده است. نتایج نشان می‌دهد که سهم مخارج مصرفی و عمرانی دولت از GDP و مجموع این دو سهم، اثر منفی و معناداری بر سرمایه اجتماعی در استان‌های ایران داشته‌ است. بنابراین، یکی از راه‌های تقویت سرمایه اجتماعی در استان‌های کشور، اصلاح فعالیت‌های دولت است.

چکیده [English]

This study examines the effect of government size (government consumption expenditures as a share of GDP and government investment expenditures as a share of GDP) on social capital by using the panel data of the provinces of Iran during 2006-2013. In this regard, based on the Pathname and Coleman approach to measuring the social capital in the provinces, three levels of participation, trust and cohesion are considered and to combine the indicators, the factor analysis method has been used. Also, estimation of models was performed using panel co-integration analysis and Generalized Method of Moments (GMM). The results show that the government consumption expenditures as a share of GDP and government investment expenditures as a share of GDP and total of these two shares have a negative and significant effect on social capital in provinces of Iran. Therefore, one of the ways to strengthen social capital in the provinces is to adjust government activities.
