Trust and growth: a shaky relationship (2008, unknown): “See e.g. Zak and Knack (2001), Alesina and La Ferrara (2002), Knack and Zak (2002) and Berggren and Jordahl (2006).”
The Determinants of Trust (2005, unknown): “The former group may be best represented by Knack and Zak (2002) who estimate the effects of education and the rule of law alongside a set of factors that cannot be influenced in the short to medium run.”
Determinants of generalized trust: A cross-country comparison (2007, background): “…is no evidence here for the effects of education on generalized trust at the national level contrary to previous studies (e.g. Knack & Keefer, 1997; Knack & Zak, 2002) The last column likewise shows that the positive coefficient of economic growth in Table 4, which had a t-statistic of 1.3, purely…”
What Have We Learned About Generalized Trust, If Anything? (2008, background): “Further support for the importance of income inequality for levels of generalized trust is provided by Zak & Knack (2001) and Knack & Zak (2002).”
Inequality and trust in Sweden : Some inequalities are more harmful than others (2008, background): “A number of empirical studies have established that income inequality and ethnic heterogeneity display a strong, negative correlation with the extent to which people trust each other (Knack and Keefer, 1997; Glaeser et al., 2000; Zak and Knack, 2001; Alesina and La Ferrara, 2002; Uslaner, 2002, 2003”

The Physiology of Moral Sentiments (2011, unknown): “In addition, trust reduces transactions costs, and we have shown that trust is a powerful force to impel economic growth through this route (Zak and Knack, 2001; Knack and Zak, 2002).”
The Impact of Corruption on Social Trust (2010, background): “…correlate with social trust, such as income equality and laws that permit widespread use of labor unions (Coleman, 1990; Edwards, 2004, Edwards & Foley, 2001; Knack & Keefer, 1997, Knack & Zak, 2002; Levi, 1998; Rahn & Rudolph, 2005; Rothstein, 2000; Rothstein & Stolle, 2003; Stolle, 2001).”
