中文摘要：

本文将新经济地理学中的资本创造模型（CC模型）和社会资本理论相结合，构建了社会资本与区域产业集聚理论模型，考察了社会资本促进区域产业集聚的微观机制。理论分析表明，社会资本越丰富的地区产业集聚程度越高。在此基础上，笔者运用2004年30个省（市）26个制造业行业的数据进行了经验研究。在控制了区位、经济功能、市场潜力、人力资本、政策等因素和异方差的影响后，社会资本对产业集聚有显著影响，并且在使用工具变量克服变量内生性后，以上结论依然稳健。因而，通过提升中西部地区社会资本，有助于建立中西部地区自我发展能力，缩小区域差距。

英文摘要：

This paper combined social capital theory with the constructed capital model （CC model） of new economic geography （NEG）, constructing a model of social capital and industrial agglomeration in re- gions and studying the micro-mechanism which social capital caused industrial agglomeration. Theoretical analysis showed that the more a region owns social capital, the higher degree industries agglomerated in. By using the data of 26 manufacturing industries in 30 provinces （except Tibet） in 2004, after controlling the influences of location, economic function, market potential, human capital, policy factors, this paper showed that social capital had a significant effect to industrial agglomeration. Thus, we could safely reach the conclusion that promoting social capital in central and western regions helped to establish their self-de- velopment capabilities, and narrow regional disparities.
