This paper is published in Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization recently (available online July 14, 2014). Using immigrant data in 29 European countries with ancestry in 87 nations, the author find significant intergenerational transmission of trust and mothers have higher influence than fathers. In addition, high enough trust can be transmitted even in low trust environment.

Comment: 1. Basically it means that in terms of trust parents and ancestors are more important than environment. 2. Difference between mother and father is easy to understand: mothers usually spend more time on educating kids. 3. What i'm curious about now is how does the pattern of trustworthiness look like.
