In recent decades, interest has increased in identifying, estimating and linking social capital to a variety of well-being variables in which the production of certain benefits or performance is key. Research has involved the confluence of several disciplines: economics, sociology, anthropology and psychology, to name a few. Although consensus on the definition of a single indicator for measuring social capital has yet to materialize, there are a number of points upon which researchers do agree: the appeal of social capital lies in the fact that said asset may shed light on the behavior of individuals; and, the fact that economic results cannot be explained solely on the basis of market forces.
