This study investigates the dynamic reciprocal relationship between social capital and good governance across 154 countries, classified into two income groups, over the period 2007–2022. Based on the theoretical foundations, social capital—characterized by trust, networks, and social norms—is considered a determinant factor that interacts with the quality of governance, which encompasses control of corruption, rule of law, regulatory quality, government effectiveness, political stability and absence of violence, and voice and accountability. To evaluate the association between social capital and good governance, the six dimensions of good governance were first weighted using the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) approach combined with Principal Component Analysis (PCA). Subsequently, a Panel Vector Autoregression (PVAR) model was employed to examine and compare the reciprocal effects between social capital and good governance across two groups of countries: those with above-median income and those with below-median income. The results indicate that social capital has a significant and positive effect on the quality of governance in lower-income countries. Conversely, good governance significantly strengthens social capital. Moreover, this effect is larger in lower-income countries but more persistent in higher-income countries. These findings confirm the existence of a mutual relationship between governance and social capital, suggesting that the impact of governance on social capital is stronger and more substantial. The results provide valuable policy implications for achieving sustainable development through targeted interventions tailored to countries’ income levels and socio-political environments.
