We conduct an extensive robustness analysis of the relationship between trust and growth by investigating a later time …. We find that when outliers (especially China) are removed, the trust-growth relationship is no longer robust. On average …, the trust coefficient is half as large as in previous findings …

paper, Knack and Keefer (1997) assess the effect of trust on growth. This paper analyses the robustness of their results … the relationship between trust and growth in terms of both the size and the significance of the estimated effect, is … highly dependent on the set of conditioning variables. An answer to the question whether there is an economic payoff of trust …

This research is an attempt to assess the impact of trust, helpfulness, and fairness on economic growth in Europe. The … first part of the paper highlights the concept of social capital and the related concept of trust, while the second part …: generalized trust, helpfulness, and fairness, which can be combined into an aggregated variable, called 'cooperation capital'. The …

shifted the policy debate from growth to inclusive growth. In this short note, we revisit the trust-growth nexus by exploiting … variables are used as additional controls. The findings broadly support the positive role of trust in QG. In addition …, relatively high thresholds of inequality are needed to change this positive trust-QG nexus in some distributions. …

The paper extends Breggren et al. (2008, EE) on "trust and growth: a shaky relationship" by incorporating recent … developments in the trust-growth literature and using a robust methodological underpinning that accounts for the presence of … documented positive trust-growth nexus is broadly confirmed.
