A Typology of Social Capital and Associated Network Measures

Physics and Society 2019-02-26 v3 Social and Information Networks

Abstract

I provide a typology of social capital, breaking it down into seven more fundamental forms of capital: information capital, brokerage capital, coordination and leadership capital, bridging capital, favor capital, reputation capital, and community capital. I discuss how most of these forms of social capital can be identified using different network-based measures.
