本文利用“中国家庭金融调查与研究中心”(CI-IFS)所发布的2011年数据,使用统计学方法构建了一个涵盖多重维度的“关系”测度指标,主要从三个方面对家庭所拥有的“关系”强弱加以衡量:静态维度的“关系”、动态维度的“关系”以及由家庭权势和地位所折射出的“关系”等。该结果恰与费孝通(1948)所描述的“关系”定义高度吻合,该描述也为此处所构造的“关系”指标提供了一个可感知的社会学基础。
Based on the data of China Household Finance Survey (CHFS), this paper proposes a measure of Guanxi to capture its multiple-dimensional nature by using the factor analysis. In line with the seminal theory of Fei Xiaotong (1992, From the Soil: the Foundations of Chinese Society), factor analysis selects three main components to construct Guanxi Index: static relationships, authority and power, and means to maintain/develop connections, so it also provide a perceived social foundation for the Guanxi Index.
