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

This paper analyzes the rational behavior of individuals who anticipate this lasting impact and the cognitive limitations that shape memories–i.e, the peak-end rule, as documented by Daniel Kahneman and coauthors. The peak rule gives rise to non-smooth consumption trajectories characterized…
