Studi empirici su CS e benessere sociale
Studi empirici
su capitale sociale e benessere sociale
Questa sezione raccoglie studi empirici sulle determinanti relazionali
e sociali del benessere. Particolare attenzione è dedicata
al ruolo delle relazioni interpersonali, alla sicurezza garantita
dall'esistenza di sistemi efficienti di protezione sociale e al
buon funzionamento delle istituzioni e dei servizi pubblici. L'evidenza
empirica sembra mostrare che il comportamento degli agenti - anche
nelle sue dimensioni più tipicamente economiche, come il
consumo e il risparmio - non può essere interamente spiegato
dalla teoria della scelta razionale adottata dall'ortodossia economica
neoclassica. Gli studi empirici sulla qualità della vita
mostrano che, nelle economie di mercato, la felicità delle
persone è sempre più spesso legata a fattori di natura
sociale e relazionale, oltre che al reddito, alla ricchezza materiale
e al consumo privato.
La sezione è in costruzione. Segnalazioni
e commenti sono molto graditi.
