Altruism, social potential and regional development

Abstract

This paper is devoted to methods for specification of region. We provide examples for the Košice region that is described by the accessible characteristics. Our main objective is to consider broadening of these characteristics for more endogenous factors such as altruism or social capital. We would like to examine these endogenous characteristics within the model of Public Private Partnership also called Common Public Procurement. Furthermore, we analyze the pure and impure altruism in the context of the application of Public Private Partnership. This short study results in the conceptual diagram that shows how the social capital works in general, the description of the diagram gives further important details and allows understanding of the evolved concept.
