    The document discusses different perspectives on social networks and their impact on wages and occupational prestige. It questions whether simply possessing social connections or actively using them affects outcomes. It also considers whether the number of contacts is exogenously determined or endogenous to one's level of social capital. The document analyzes how social capital may impact job search methods and wages but finds little consistent evidence of an effect on wages from using contacts alone.

    Week 9 Social Network

    410982025 應外三 鄭晟辰

    The intro suggests different perspectives:


    1. to benefit from social contacts, it’s not the use of contacts but the quantity and
    quality of social resources
    2. Marsden and Gorman find no effect of using contacts on wages
    3. Lin suggest there is little consistent evidence that using contacts affects wages or
    occupational prestige

    Job Search Method:


    Sequential: compare jobs one by one with the sequence of receiving
    Extensive: compare jobs all at once to select the best one

    Social Capital do not affects the wages and the probability of job offers via formal search

    Question: does the “possession” of social capital really transfer to higher wages and
    prestige? Or it requires the “actions” of using social capital to actually struck impacts?

    Social capital perspectives:


    Burt: structural holes
    Lin: direct and indirect ties

    is contacts exogenous to the level of social capital?


    if it is exogenous: there will be direct relation between on the effect and outcomes
    if it is endogenous: direct relation is ambiguous
