Abstract

This research investigates the effect of constructive social capital such as religious tolerance, political participation, and marriage; and destructive social capital such as the corruption culture and discrimination behavior towards the economic growth rate of member countries of the Islamic Cooperation Organization (OIC) 2014-2017. The results of the research estimation using the technique of fixed effect (FE) from the panel data of the OIC countries show that religious tolerance measured using the freedom of religion index (FRI) shows a positive and significant effect on the economic growth rate; political participation as measured by political rights index (PRI) has a significant negative effect on the economic growth rate; marriage measured using the percentage of married woman (PMW) has a positive effect on the economic growth rate but is not significant; corruption culture measured using corruption perception index (CPI) has a negative and not significant effect on the economic growth rate; and discrimination behavior measured using discrimination and violence against minorities index (DVI) shows a negative and not significant effect on the economic growth rate.Abstrak:Penelitian ini menginvestigasi pengaruh modal sosial konstruktif (modal sosial konstruktif) seperti toleransi beragama, partisipasi politik, dan pernikahan, serta modal sosial destruktif (modal sosial destruktif) seperti budaya korupsi dan perilaku diskriminasi terhadap tingkat pertumbuhan ekonomi negara-negara anggota Organisasi Kerjasama Islam (OKI) 2014-2017.
