Workshop on Social Capital and Health

The IV Social Capital and Health Global Network Workshop on Social Capital and Health will take place at the University of Padova, Italy, on 4-5 October 2012. The workshop is open for all these types of contributions, and in particular for contributions that focus on an economic approach and contributions that aim at revealing the causal effect of social capital on health, especially if they go beyond reduced form models and try to identify the channels through which social capital influences health (e.g. health-related behaviors, social support, psychological support, enhanced circulation of health-relevant information, non opportunistic behaviors between patients and health care providers among others).
