Hi #econsky, could you please suggest some papers on the consequences of poor social capital (e.g., lack of friendships, trust within a network) during childhood? Any correlational or causal studies would be greatly appreciated.. 🙏📈📉

This is sort of the reverse doi.org/10.1086/702626. He's got a few more as well. I think this uses Add Health - which has pretty good data on friends. Might be worth looking at who else used that.
