How Does Social Trust Affect Economic Growth (2012, background): “As such, a more careful control for reverse causality leads to a rejection of results in a number of earlier studies that implied a more optimistic assessment of the potential of policy-induced effects on social trust (Knack and Keefer, 1997; Zak and Knack, 2001; Knack and Zak, 2002).”
How does social trust lead to better governance? An attempt to separate electoral and bureaucratic mechanisms (2010, background): “Although the indicator has been criticized on theoretical grounds, a number of studies discuss the validity of the indicator, finding it to be a good measure of honesty and trustworthiness of one’s fellow citizens ( Knack 2001; Uslaner 2000, 2002 ;B jornskov2007a; Sapienza et al. 2007).”
Determinants of generalized trust: A cross-country comparison (2007, background): “By estimating the variability of trust over time, it is hence possible to contribute to resolving a central dispute in the social capital literature, namely whether features such as trust have deep historical roots or if they can more easily be influenced by public policy (e.g. Putnam, 1993; Knack &”
Social Capital, Social Norms and the New Institutional Economics (2005, background): “Using a broader sample and different specifications, Zak and Knack (2001) report similar results.”
How's Life? Combining Individual and National Variables to Explain Subjective Well-Being (2003, unknown): “Previous research did not find any such spillovers from memberships to economic growth (e.g. Knack and Keefer 1997, Helliwell 1996a, Knack 2001), and in any event income levels are already accounted for in equation 2, so the national membership effects in equation 2 would seem to flow directly to…”
Social capital vs institutions in the growth process (2009, background): “The empirical cross-country macro literature on social trust includes seminal contributions by Knack and Keefer (1997) and Zak and Knack (2001).1 The paper most closely related to ours is Zak and Knack (2001) who regress economic growth on both levels of interpersonal trust (from World Value…”
Combating Corruption: On the Interplay between Institutional Quality and Social Trust (2011, unknown): “Knack (2001), using data from a walletdrop experiment conducted by Reader’s Digest in 16 cities around the world and 12 major American cities, furthermore show that the percentage of a population answering yes to the social trust question above is a strong predictor of the share of the dropped…”
Do cooperative enterprises create social trust? (2012, unknown): “…transactions costs, favor the enforcement of contracts, facilitate credit at the level of individual investors, and encourage innovation and investment in human and physical capital (see among others Putnam 1993; Fukuyama 1995; Knack and Keefer 1997; Zak and Knack 2001; Guiso et al. 2008, 2009).”
Trust and Wellbeing (2010, unknown): “The high correlation between actual wallet returns and the answers to the social trust questions when averaged on a national basis (Knack 2001) suggests that answers to general interpersonal trust questions are based on experience within the respondent’s own nation.”
Growing to Trust (2015, background): “…trust measure has been shown to converge with trust behavior (i.e., money transferred in a social dilemma game; Fehr et al., 2003; see also Knack, 2001; Naef & Schupp, 2009), (2) we were able to augment this measure by other measures of interpersonal trust (e.g., people met for the first…”
