SOCIAL DRINKING VERSUS ADMINISTERING ALCOHOL
type="main" xml:id="ecin12079-abs-0001"> <title type="main">Abstract</title> Alcohol consumption tends to make some people (unwillingly) tell the truth, hence social drinking can serve as a signal in social contact games. We provide empirical evidence which shows that social drinking can serve as a trust facilitating mechanism. Liver cirrhosis mortality and the rate of abstainers are used to construct a novel index of moderate alcohol consumption, which correlates with trust levels in a cross-country analysis.(JEL L14, D82, D71)
