Building on a large body of theoretical and experimental literature, we hypothesize that trust shared in a society may positively affect global cooperative behavior. We provide empirical evidence in the context of climate change that an increase in trust is associated with a larger reduction in CO<sub>2<\/sub>&nbsp;emissions across countries, controlling for country fixed effects and a number of time-varying factors. As a falsification test, we estimate the relationship on an earlier period when there was no concern of man-made climate change (before the 1980s) and find no impact of trust on CO<sub>2<\/sub>&nbsp;emissions during that period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ara Jo, Stefano Carattini, Trust and CO2 emissions: Cooperation on a global scale, <em>Journal of Economic Behavior &amp; Organization<\/em>, Volume 190, 2021, Pages 922-937, ISSN 0167-2681, https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/j.jebo.2021.08.010.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\">\n<?xml encoding=\"UTF-8\"><p>Building on a large body of theoretical and experimental literature, the authors of this paper hypothesize that trust shared in a society may positively affect global cooperative behavior. <\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":0,"template":"","tags":[681,254,1128],"publication-type":[436],"topic_area":[4698],"class_list":["post-56896","publication","type-publication","status-publish","hentry","tag-co2-emissions","tag-cooperation","tag-trust","publication-type-research-articles","topic_area-behavioural-responses"],"acf":{"exclude_from_sync":{"ref_value":"field_560538b0e7350","value":"0","type":false,"post_type":""},"downloads":{"ref_value":"field_52f16cc1a80f2","value":false,"type":"repeater","post_type":""},"rss_newsletter":{"ref_value":"field_54f5c2c1544d8","value":"","type":false,"post_type":""},"profile_link":{"ref_value":"field_52f164b5189e9","value":["ara-jo","stefano-carattini"],"type":"relationship","post_type":"profile"},"article_link":{"ref_value":"field_52eee3c7f0586","value":"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/abs\/pii\/S0167268121003462","type":false,"post_type":""},"article_link_title":{"ref_value":"field_5322399d89d42","value":"External link to paper","type":false,"post_type":""},"spotlight":{"ref_value":"field_52f80896506d3","value":"","type":false,"post_type":""}},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
