“…Efforts using laboratory experiments to assess whether women supply different levels of public goods than men or are more cooperative (Nowell and Tinkler 1994;Eckel and Grossman 1998;Solow and Kirkwood 2002) seem to be sensitive to the form of the experiment. Much of the field evidence on this question is hampered by concerns about reverse causality (for example, Dollar, Fisman, and Gatti 2001).…”

“…For example, Gächter et al (2004) find no effects, Nowell and Tinkler (1994) find that all-female groups are slightly more cooperative than all-male groups. Andreoni and Vesterlund (2001) and Solow and Kirkwood (2002) find no unambiguous gender effects. Bellemare and Kröger (2007) find that women exhibit significantly higher trust levels than men in their experimental trust games.…”

We show that the standard trust question routinely used in social capital research is importantly related to cooperation behavior and we provide evidence on the microfoundation of this relation. We run a large-scale public goods experiment over the internet in Denmark using a design that enables us to disentangle preferences for cooperation from beliefs about others' cooperation. We find that the standard trust question is a proxy for cooperation preferences rather than beliefs about others' cooperation. Moreover, we show that the "fairness question", a recently proposed alternative to the standard trust question, is also related to cooperation behavior but operates through beliefs rather than preferences.

“…Replicating the latter study, however, Cadsby and Maynes (1998) do not find any gender differences. Sell et al (1993), Solow and Kirkwood (2002), Chermak and Krause (2002) and Andreoni and Petrie (2008) also find no significant differences in the contributions of men and women. Contrary results are reported by Stockard et al (1988), Nowell and Tinkler (1994) and Seguino et al (1996), who show that women contribute more than men.…”
