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. …

This paper investigates in a principal-agent environment whether and how group membership influences the effectiveness of incentives and when incentives can have “hidden costs”, i.e., a detrimental effect. We show experimentally that in all interactions control mechanisms can have hidden...

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 …
