Does social capital affected the availability of farmers' formal loaning?——Micro evidence from farm household surveys in 4 counties in 3 provinces
Based on a sample of 2063 farm households in Shaanxi, Henan, and Ningxia Provinces in 2017, a discrete choice model was used to analyze the effect of social capital on the availability of formal loaning. It was found that there is a positive correlation between social capital and farmers' formal loaning accessibility with a significant enhancing effect; the number of relatives and friends, the amount of gift money, the monthly telephone fees for contacting friends and relatives, and relatives and friends working in government departments all significantly increase farmers' formal loaning accessibility; social capital has a significant enhancing effect on the middle-income sample; carrying out the pilot project of property rights mortgage has a certain substitution effect on social capital. Therefore, the government should pay attention to the role of social capital in alleviating farmers' financing difficulties, publicize the importance of social capital to farmers, help farmers with little social capital to establish certain social networks, improve the construction of the rural credit system, and accelerate the promotion of the property rights mortgage policy.
