Although it is well known that trust is an important component of the fulfilment of incomplete contracts, less is known … regarding how robust it is to past experiences. We present an experiment in which trust is required for transactions to occur … trust is surprisingly robust in the long-term. We argue that trust, through fragile in one way, is in another way more …

We experimentally examine the effects of price competition in markets for expe-rience goods where sellers can build up reputations for quality. We compare price competition to monopolistic markets and markets where prices are exogenously fixed (somewhere between the endogenous oligopoly and...

This paper explores methods to study trust. Answers to survey questions and choices in a trust game are obtained from … between the results obtained by these methods were observed. Furthermore, one group of subjects played the trust game with … hypothetical payments. This changed trust behavior dramatically, whereas trustworthiness was unaffected. Subjects without financial …

We advance the measurement of trust in economics in two ways. First, we highlight the importance of clearly identifying … the target of trust, particularly for obtaining concordance between attitudinal and behavioral measures of trust. Second …, we introduce a novel behavioral measure of (dis)trust, based on individualsʼ willingness to pay to avoid being vulnerable …
