>---- Trust, the Internet, and the Digital Divide
>The Internet is expected to have a positive impact on economic growth. In
>this paper, we examine how differences in willingness to trust influence
>Internet adoption rates across countries. We show that trust has a
>statistically significant influence on levels of Internet penetration
>across countries. We also show that increasing Internet adoption through
>policies to promote trust will have larger impacts on high than low trust
>countries -- differences in trust may produce a digital divide among
>nations. Since low trust countries tend to be low or middle income
>countries, this digital divide between countries may translate into a
>developmental divide (PDF).
