?:abstract
  • Social capital has been recognized as one of the most influentialconcepts in social and political sciences. It is assumed that it has significantinfluence on several issues such as health status, educational achievementand environmental attitudes. In the present article we attempt to investigatethe influence of social capital on the tendency of European citizens tocontribute money for the environment using data from EVS 1999/2000.Firstly, an estimation of individual social capital is calculated for Europeancitizens with the use of Confirmatory Factor Analysis. Secondly, the relationbetween individual social capital and willingness to pay (WTP) is examined.Thirdly, further evidence is provided by introducing in the analysis the influenceof other factors such as income, age, gender and educational level. In addition,the influence of contextual factors on WTP is explored. Through the results ofthe study it is observed that most European citizens are willing to pay for theenvironment and their decision is influenced significantly from elements ofsocial capital. Furthermore, on a contextual level only some of the factorsinvestigated explain the tendency to contribute money for the environment. (xsd:string)
