Can trust play a role in NPIs effectiveness? This study aims to better understand the role of different measures of trust in the effectiveness of NPIs. Cross-country heterogeneity of NPIs effectiveness may be explained by differences in trust Cross-country heterogeneity of NPIs effectiveness may be explained by differences in trust (both interpersonal and toward institutions) among countries. NPIs are peculiar if compared to other policies. Trust is a broad concept. We are going to focus on three declinations of the concept: interpersonal trust, trust in political institutions, and trust in non-political institutions. These three characteristics have a deep impact on: 1. The way member of the communities have access to, and interact in their respective networks; 2. The way people look at other members of their community; 3. The way people perceive policies enforced by the public authorities By shaping the way people look at these impositions, and by leveraging on the personal attitude that each citizen has toward the authorities and toward the rest of the society, each of this characteristics may play an important role in the respect of such restrictions, and consequently on their effectiveness.
