| Summary: | This case study examines the research methods used to investigate the effects of social capital on economic development. It outlines the choices made to investigate the research question using a novel approach that combined shift-share analysis with traditional regression techniques. Using archival data to answer this question raises a number of issues that created both advantages and disadvantages for the research. The case concludes with three lessons that address (1) the use of shift-share analysis, (2) an evaluation of the strengths and weaknesses of archival research, and (3) a discussion of how differing units of measurement are addressed through aggregation at larger geographic levels. |
