Resum

This article examines an intra- and international trust game experiment between Moroccan, French and Spanish participants. Before making decisions, the participants knew the nationality of their partner. We find that, on average, subjects from Morocco exhibit a higher level of trust. Furthermore, they trust French more than Spanish subjects. Regarding reciprocity, subjects from Spain were the least trustworthy. Additionally, we do not observe country differences in reciprocal behaviour.
