Table 15 Total Lifetime Social Savings per Expected High School Graduate in New York
in Members
"... In PAGE 35: ... The social costs are the entire costs to the state population from low education. The economic value of this social cost is given in Table15 (page 50). Clearly, this social cost includes the costs to the taxpayer, but there are two other significant burdens.... In PAGE 35: ... This loss in gross income is reported in Table 6 (page 45) and so we subtract tax payments to get the loss in net income from inadequate education. This amount is reported in column 2 of Table15 (page 50). In addition, there are social costs due to the crime committed ... In PAGE 36: ... Notably, most victims of crime are the same race as the perpetrators, so reporting these social costs by race has a broader implication for social justice. The final column of Table15 (page 50) shows the social costs of inadequate education. The social cost of failing to ensure high school graduation is $508,910 for males and $357,380 for females.... ..."
Table 28: Social Capital and Asset Accumulation
"... In PAGE 48: ... Re-estimating equation (1) with this ownership score as dependent variable provides an assessment whether social capital has contributed to asset accumulation and long-term increases in household welfare. The results (column 1, Table28 ) indicate a strong correlation between membership in local organizations and ownership of durable goods. Active membership in an agrarian syndicate is associated with an increase in the ownership score of 0.... In PAGE 48: ... While the LLI questionnaire did not record the amount of savings, it did ask whether households had been able to increase savings in the past year. Households with more memberships in local associations were significantly more able to do so than others (column 2, Table28 ). Membership in an agrarian syndicate was associated with a 4.... ..."
Table 10: Social Capital and Asset Accumulation
1998
"... In PAGE 40: ... Since the data do not contain price information, this score was calculated using weights derived from a principal component analysis of the 15 durable goods (Filmer and Pritchett, 1998).25 The results indicate that the number of memberships is not significant, but that belonging to internally heterogeneous associations and participating actively in them is linked with higher asset ownership (Column 1, Table10 ). These are, of course, the same two characteristics of associations which we found important earlier as correlates for current expenditure.... In PAGE 41: ... While the LLI questionnaire did not record the amount of savings, it did ask whether households had been able to increase savings in the past year. Households with more memberships in local associations were significantly more able to do so than others (Column 2, Table10 ). The effect was especially strong from memberships in credit and savings associations indicating that such organizations do in fact achieve their professed... ..."

Table 11: Social Capital and Access to Credit
1998
"... In PAGE 42: ... 6.2 Access to Credit Table11 confirms the importance of financial associations for access to credit: members were 13 percentage points more likely to obtain credit than non-members and the obtained credit amounts were much larger. However, Table 11 also makes it clear that membership and active participation in other local associations, whose prime objective is not financial, also contributes to access to credit.... In PAGE 42: ...2 Access to Credit Table 11 confirms the importance of financial associations for access to credit: members were 13 percentage points more likely to obtain credit than non-members and the obtained credit amounts were much larger. However, Table11 also makes it clear that membership and active participation in other local associations, whose prime objective is not financial, also contributes to access to credit. This is perhaps the sense in which social capital is truly social, in that the building of networks and trust among members in the context of a social setting spills over into financial benefits, e.... In PAGE 43: ... For example, the Grameen Bank also insists that its borrowing circles consists only of women (Yunus, 1997). However, when we re-estimate the models in Table11 by adding an index capturing heterogeneity within credit and saving associations, the coefficient of the latter is positive and significant. This means that both the probability to obtain credit and the loan amounts received are higher for members of differentiated credit and savings associations than for members of homogeneous ones.... ..."

Table 9 summarizes the values assumed for savings from prevention and reduction in severity for each of the various types of crashes, and the effectiveness in reducing crashes for PAT. These values are then used with the approximate annual number of crashes for PAT to produce total savings for each type of incident. Therefore, the crash savings to society (because we have used a social cost of crashes) are almost $4 million per year. PAT has approximately 900 buses, if each bus were fitted with a SCWS and the system had a life of 3 years, the system would cost under $12,500 to break even. We believe that it is feasible to develop, manufacture, install and maintain a system for under this amount. Therefore, with relatively modest reductions in incidents significant benefits can be gained.

Table 3 Properties of Economies with Alternative Social Security Systems (adjusted to equalize net indebtedness)
"... In PAGE 22: ... An impressionistic way to think of this is that once the social security system is changed from the status quo, prices and aggregate capital immediately jump to their new steady state values. We report results from economies with social security debt adjustments in Table3 . The level of debt associated with the SQ, evaluated at SQ prices, is 2.... In PAGE 22: ...liminated, is 1.19, or roughly 70% of GNP. The welfare implications are quite di erent once we incorporate the debt adjustment.

Capital Taxation E ects The economies we use to isolate capital taxation e ects are essentially identical to those represented in Table3 , except that all government expenditure is nanced through labor income taxation: k = 0 rather than k = l as before. That is, we compute three new steady states, each corresponding to either the SQ, the PSA or the PP social security system, where k = 0 in all cases.... In PAGE 28: ...3 The Interaction of Annuities and Aggregate Savings The upshot of our welfare decomposition is that the lion apos;s share of the gains we attribute to social security reform are due to what we apos;ve labeled `general equilibrium e ects: apos; changes in equilibrium prices and aggregate quantities which result from changes in our model apos;s institutional structure. Table3 demonstrates this in a fairly obvious manner: aggregate capital in the reformed economies increases by 11% in the case of the PSA economy and by 34% in the case of the PP economy. A substantial portion of the associated welfare gain is therefore a simple result of being born into a richer economy....

Table 7 Properties of Economies with Alternative Social Security Systems (adjusted to equalize net indebtedness, perfect annuities, zero capital taxation: k = 0)
"... In PAGE 28: ... We now demonstrate that a critical ingredient driving this increase in aggregate capital is the savings response of an individual, having lost access to the annuities which social security provides. In Table7 we report results from an experiment analogous to that in Table 4, but where perfect annuities have been added in the same manner as described above. Speci cally, the comparison in Table 7 is conducted across alternative steady states (with zero capital... In PAGE 28: ...

In PAGE 29: ...should we see a smaller increase in aggregate capital relative to our previous experiments, we can attribute much of the aggregate wealth e ect in those experiments to the removal of annuities.
