Social Capital and Agricultural Trade
American Journal of Agricultural Economics, 2001 have. Using original survey data from three African countries, we establish that individual traders with more contacts have higher output. We also investigate the origin of social capital and other productive resources. The evidence suggests that start-up conditions and business experience have a paramount influence on social and physical capital ...
