Abstract

This paper addresses the relationship between social capital and cultural access. In doing that we provide a conceptual framework by moving from a cultural economics standpoint and by applying a Simultaneous Equation Model (SEM). Some linkages and relationships emerge through the analysis of cultural participation as a proxy of cultural capital and the accumulation of two selected dimensions of social capital.
