Behavioural Development Economics: Lessons from Field Labs in the Developing World (2008, background): “Expanding the comparisons (Holt and Laury, 2002; Binswanger, 1980; Barr, 2003b; Harrison et al., 2005; Jimenez, 2003; Nielsen, 2001; Wik and Holden, 1998) gives us a better idea of whether there are differences between people in developed countries and those in developing countries.”
Trust and cooperation: Social capital and community resource management (2008, background): “[4], it is not significant in our analyses.”
An investment game with third-party intervention (2007, background): “Arrow (1974) pointed out that trust must be required in much economic activity in order to have mutual gains in exchanges.”
Ethnic Diversity and Economic Performance (2005, unknown): “They lose some of their significance in regressions where on the right hand side one controls for GDP per capita.(21) In any case, neither of these studies argues that ethnic fragmentation is the only cause of “poor quality of government”: La Porta et al.”
Social Capital, Social Norms and the New Institutional Economics (2005, methodology): “Barr (2003) conducted experiments similar to those of Glaeser et al. (2000) in 24 Zimbabwean villages with 141 pairs of players, but did not allow the subjects to know the identity of their partners prior to or during the experiment, unlike Glaeser, et al. The Zimbabwe data indicate a high level of…”
Traditional trust measurement and the risk confound: An experiment in rural paraguay (2007, unknown): “As in many experiments in rural villages (Barr, 2003; Karlan, 2005), due to the importance of ensuring players with varying levels of education all understood the game, and difficulties in running experiments in a village setting, the game was not double blind.”
Field experiments across the social sciences (2017, background): “…the social benefits, in terms of trust and prosocial behavior, of a variety of interventions, from the implementation of conditional cash transfer programs (Attanasio et al. 2009), to conflict reduction interventions (Fearon et al. 2009, Gilligan et al. 2014), to community resettlement (Barr 2003).”
Measuring people's trust (2009, methodology): “(2002), Bellemare and Kroeger (2007) (their ‘representative sample’) and Barr (2003)).”
Building Trust in Economic Space (2006, methodology): “Methodologically, studies of trust from this literature often involve surveys and statistical analyses of the key factors driving trust decisions (eg, reputation, experience, etc), game theory studies using prisoner dilemma-type methods to assess trust-making probabilities, or experimental trust gam”
Cross-Racial Envy and Underinvestment in South Africa (2006, background): “Barr (2003) conducted experiments in Zimbabwe in order to detect which factors contribute to the feeling of shared social identities within communities.”
Do strong family ties inhibit trust (2008, background): “…− P) if they pass on the £10, and it is £(10 + k) if they keep it, where k is either 0 or 2 and P is the probability of the second stage 3 Other studies have used population samples, but ones that are less representative of the population than these two studies (e.g. Barr, 2003; Schechter, 2007).”
