| Research Abstract |
This research aims to investigate how social capital is associated with industrial development. Main findings of empirical works indicated that social capital enhanced formation of human capital, and increased local demand. These findings made it evident that social capital had a positive influence on industrial development in terms of demand-side as well as supply-side.
For theoretical analysis, we focus on effects of demand uncertainty on industrial development. Main finding is that industries with more uncertain demand have shorter life cycle. Thus further assignment is to show how social capital affects demand uncertainty.
