Measuring Trust and Social Capital

Sciences Po will hold a thematic workshop on “Measuring Trust and Social Capital” in collaboration with the OECD and the High Level Expert Group (HLEG) on the Measurement of Economic Performance and Social Progress.

The workshop has three main objectives:
– to identify appropriate methodological frameworks in order to measure trust and social skills as accurately and consistently as possible across countries and different demographic groups;
– to make policy recommendations for boosting social capital and trust;
– to analyse the relationship between trust and well-being.

 

The workshop’s co-organizers Yann ALGAN (Sciences Po) and Martine DURAND (OECD) are especially pleased to welcome Professor Joseph E. STIGLITZ (Columbia University) who will make the event’s introductory remarks and ‘set the scene’.

The event is held with the financial support of the European Research Council under the European Community’s Horizon H2020 Programme (H2020-ERC-2014-CoG Grant Agreement n° 647870) for Yann Algan’s ERC project SOWELL.
