A substantial share of firm entry and exit observed in administrative data reflects mergers, acquisitions, spin-offs, and other forms of corporate restructuring rather than genuine market creation or destruction.

This paper builds on the network model of Galeotti, et al. 2010, to examine how the destruction of local infrastructure shapes social capital.
