Beliefs and actions in the trust game : creating instrumental variables to estimate the causal effect
Costa-Gomes, Miguel A.; Huck, Steffen; Weizsäcker, Georg - 2010
In many economic contexts, an elusive variable of interest is the agent's expectation about relevant events, e.g. about other agents' behavior. Recent experimental studies as well as surveys have asked participants to state their beliefs explicitly, but little is known about the causal relation...

Beliefs and actions in the trust game : creating instrumental variables to estimate the causal effect
Costa-Gomes, Miguel A.; Huck, Steffen; Weizsäcker, Georg - 2012
In many economic contexts, an elusive variable of interest is the agent's belief about relevant events, e.g. about other agents' behavior. A growing number of surveys and experiments ask participants to state beliefs explicitly but little is known about the causal relation between beliefs and...

Is Trust Self-Fulfilling? An Experimental Study
Guerra, Gerardo A.; Bacharach, Michael; Zizzo, Daniel John - 2002
experiment we report was designed to test for trust responsiveness and its robustness across payoff structures, and to … inequality aversion. We elicit the truster's confidence that the trustee will fulfil, and the trustee's belief about the trusteer …'s confidence after the trustee receives evidence relevant to this. We find evidence of strong trust responsiveness. We also find …

Rationality, Fairness and the Cost of Distrust
Bostedt, Göran - 2012
An adapted version of ”the trust game with revenge” is applied to a Swedish setting. Senders - the first-movers - can keep an endowment of SEK 30, or give fractions or all to an unknown receiver. Donations are multiplied by five before reaching receivers, who may, or may not, send back part...

Religious Identity, Trust, Reciprocity, and Prosociality : Theory and Evidence
Dhami, Sanjit; Wei, Mengxing; Mamidi, Pavan - 2022
We use the trust and the dictator games to explore the effects of religious identity on trust, trustworthiness, prosociality, and conditional reciprocity within a beliefs-based model. We provide a novel and rigorous theoretical model to derive the relevant predictions, which are then tested in...
