The Economic Returns of Immigrants’ Bonding and Bridging Social Capital: The Case of the Netherlands 1 (2010, background): “For immigrants, social capital is especially important, as relying on social networks is a way to reduce job search costs, for example in the presence of discrimination (Mouw, 2002).”

The Impact of Origin and Host Country Schooling on the Economic Performance of Immigrants (2009, methodology): “The major insight is that having more (resourceful) contacts generally increases economic opportunities (Bourdieu 1986; Boxman, De Graaf and Flap 1991; Coleman 1990; Ioannides and Loury 2004; Lin 1999; Mouw 2002; Portes and Sensenbrenner 1993).”
