Trustworthiness is manifested through the practice of loyalty, virtue and prudence. Trustworthiness has an economic value, as shown by the example of traders who realize that their utility and reputation will be erased by cheating. It is suggested that institutions can enhance trust-responsiveness by giving their personnel a significant degree of freedom in performing their jobs.
