Taking Stock of Trust
12th December 2005
The Context
Trust enables people to collaborate, negotiate and trade under conditions
of uncertainty. The demands placed on trust in a more complex and globalised
economy, where people live more flexible and diverse lives, are growing,
at a time when trust in experts, public authorities and other institutions
is increasingly questioned. This one-day conference will analyse developments
and discuss future directions in trust research.

Trust and Social Progress
Professor Lord Layard, Centre for Economic Performance, LSE Professor
Layard's paper was based on the arguments contained in his book: 'Happiness:
Lessons from a New Science'. These use evidence from World Values Survey
and other sources to show that social trust is one of the factors associated
with reported happiness in cross-national data-sets.
