trust and trade efficiency. Guided by feedback patterns observed on eBay and other platforms we run laboratory experiments …, leading to more accurate reputation information, more trust and more efficient trade. We discuss the implications for theory … building and for managing the redesign of market trust systems. …

We study the interplay of inequality and trust in a dynamic growth game, in which trust increases efficiency and thus … allows higher growth of the laboratory economy in the future. We find that trust (as measured by the percentage of wealth … invested in a trust game) is initially high in a treatment starting with equal endowments, but decreases over time. In a …

This paper reports evidence from a city-wide field experiment on trust. About 1000 inhabitants of Zurich take part in a … trust experiment, in which first movers can condition their investments on the residential districts of second movers. First … people trust strangers from their own district significantly more than strangers from other districts. This in-group effect …

We prime trust using past performance from a pilot study and demonstrate … that the level of trust within an organization affects division of labor and consequently organizational productivity. This …

We study the interplay of inequality and trust in a dynamic game, in which trust increases efficiency and thus allows … higher growth of the experimental economy in the future.
