| description |
This paper attempts to quantify the
impact of the HIV/AIDS epidemic on social capital with
cross-country data. Using data from the World Values Survey,
the authors estimate reduced-form regressions of the main
determinants of social capital controlling for HIV
prevalence, institutional quality, social distance, and
economic indicators. The results obtained indicate that HIV
prevalence affects social capital negatively. The empirical
estimates suggest that a one standard deviation increase in
HIV prevalence will lead to a decline of at least 1 percent
in trust, controlling for other determinants of social
capital. Moving from a country with a relatively low level
of HIV prevalence, such as Estonia, to a country with a
relatively high level, such as Uganda, there is a more than
11 percent point decline in social capital. These results
are robust in a number of dimensions and highlight the
empirical importance of an additional mechanism through
which HIV/AIDS hinders the development process. |
