Title: Social capital and the spread of covid-19: Insights from european countries() Cord-id: juew7061 Document date: 2021_9_15
ID: juew7061
Snippet: We investigate the effect of social capital on health outcomes during the Covid-19 pandemic in independent analyses for Austria, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, the Netherlands, Sweden and Switzerland. Exploiting detailed geographical variation within countries, we show that a one-standard-deviation increase in social capital leads to between 14% and 34% fewer Covid-19 cases per capita accumulated from mid-March until end of June 2020, as well as between 6% and 35% fewer excess deaths per capita.

Our results highlight the positive health returns of strengthening social capital.
