Foundations of social life: trust and trustworthiness
Trust matters in a wide range of interactions in which individuals would gain from cooperation, but (i) in which cooperation is threatened by opportunistic behaviour, and (ii) there is no third party enforcement such as that provided by the state, to guarantee transactions. In the first part, this course covers the properties of trust, the types and sources of trustworthiness, and introduces different ways of measuring trust and trustworthiness (1,2,3). Next, it presents how trust decisions are shaped by information (4, 5). Third, it shows how trust can emerge despite all odds among criminals and insurgents (6, 7), and how it is (counter-intuitively) affected by conflict (8). The last two classes deal with the interaction between trust and state enforcement, and trust and ethnic diversity (9,10).
