Experimental Design (Public) Participants will play 4 rounds of the trust game (Berg et. al. 1995). The basic setup consists on two players (sender, receiver) that have an initial endowment of $X. The sender chooses what fraction of her endowment $Y she’ll send to the receiver. $Y is tripled on its way to the receiver, and he now decides how much of his $X+3Y to send back to the sender. Pairs will be re-matched every round. Before making each rounds' decision, players will receive a card with demographic information of their counterpart (gender, age, education level, neighborhood, and nationality). Subjects will be assigned the same role they had in 2007. Only the first round will be used for direct comparison with 2007 trust levels.

Randomization Method Matchings will be pre-randomized by subject number, and subject numbers will be assigned randomly. Matchings will be pre-randomized by subject number, and subject numbers will be assigned randomly. Subjects will be assigned the same role they had in 2007.
Planned Number of Observations 120 (60 senders, 60 recievers) 240 total observations: - 60 sender decisions in 2007 - 60 receiver decisions in 2007 - 60 sender decisions in 2020 - 60 receiver decisions in 2020
Sample size (or number of clusters) by treatment arms 120 decisions in 2007 120 decisions in 2020 120 total clusters: - 60 individual senders - 60 individual receivers
