“…As a result, the social capital variable is potentially endogenous and should be addressed in the estimation to avoid bias estimation [22]. Second, we extend the body of literature by providing an urban-rural typology model, which has not been covered in past research [17][18][19][20][21]. Estimating the effect of social capital by separating the model of urban and rural will provide a deep understanding of how social capital affects rural and urban residents' subjective well-being.…”

“…An array of variables associated with subjective well-being have been identified in the literature, such as socio-demographic characteristics (such as age and education), personality, social and natural environment [26,32], income and consumption [30], spatial, social, and cultural mechanisms, political processes [37,38], and technological adoption [22]. One of the essential factors promoting subjective well-being is social capital [17][18][19][20].…”

“…Traditional measures, such as income, poverty status, and food security, have been challenged for being excessively one-sided and incapable of accounting for non-monetary aspects of quality of life, such as happiness and life satisfaction. As a result, scholars in allied fields such as economics and social science began to demonstrate how social capital affects subjective well-being [17][18][19][20]. For instance, Hommerich and Tiefenbach [17] used social affiliation as an indicator of social capital to examine its relation to well-being and found a positive and significant relationship.…”

“…Although research has extensively investigated social capital's impact on subjective well-being [17][18][19][20][21], these studies are general [17,18,20] and offer only regional perspectives [19]. To date, no specific research has investigated the impact's magnitude on rural and urban areas.…”

There has been growing research on the link between social capital and subjective well-being. However, to date, research investigating the impact of social capital on subjective well-being based on urban and rural typology is limited. Therefore, to fill this gap, this study aims to examine the effects of social capital on subjective well-being, based on urban and rural typology, using large-scale data from 29,341 Indonesian residents, comprising 17,155 urban residents and 12,186 rural residents. A two-stage predictor substitution (2SPS) approach is applied to address the endogeneity issue in estimating the impact of social capital. The empirical findings indicate that social capital significantly increases subjective well-being, i.e., happiness and life satisfaction. However, based on the urban–rural model, we found that the impact of social capital on subjective well-being is different. In the urban model, social capital increases happiness and life satisfaction significantly. However, the rural model indicates that social capital significantly increases happiness, not life satisfaction. These findings imply that subjective well-being impacts urban residents more than rural residents. The main reason is social capital in urban areas is well-developed (i.e., management and infrastructure for community association). Therefore, we suggest developing social capital in rural areas to expand its role in improving well-being.
