“Trust me, I am an economist.” A note on suspiciousness in laboratory experiments

This study investigates the effect of informing subjects that no deception will be used in a laboratory experiment. When implemented as a part of recruitment procedure, this information makes no difference in participants’ suspiciousness. Conversely, no-deception reminders placed in the instructions substantially reduce self-reported suspiciousness but not actual (trust-dependent) behavior.
