The new index maintains the simplicity ...

Understanding the formation of trust at the individual level is a key issue given the impact that it has been recognized to have on economic development.

We exploit the longitudinal component of the data to analyze how immigration affects the health of both immigrants and natives over time. Immigrants are shown to be healthier than ...
