This paper examines the effect of subjects playing both roles in a trust game. We compare
two information treatments to our replication of the single-role trust game. The treatments
alter the point at which participants are told they will play both roles. We find that playing ...

This paper presents a tractable formalization and an empirical investigation of the quality-
complementarity hypothesis, the hypothesis that input quality and plant productivity are
complementary in generating output quality. We embed this complementarity in a general- ...
