| dc.description.abstractEn | In order to test Lin's social capital theory in an informal African urban economy, this paper outlines an approach articulated around the notion of 'ego-centred network'. We used an original dataset collected in Bobo-Dioulasso (Burkina Faso) to evaluate how member attributes in entrepreneurs' networks tend to influence their economic outcomes. The instrument of multiple name generators provides a vast amount of information that can be used to compute quantitative measures of the composition of networks. We show that the proportion of members with a high social status have no significant positive impact on economic outcomes, contrary to more approachable individuals. | |
