Abstract This paper examines how the interaction of social trust and institutions, such as land administration, affects household economic decisions in Viet Nam. Using a panel dataset of rural households from 2008 to 2014, we show that negative consequences of the duration of land administration on agricultural investment have been lower in rural households with higher level of trust. Higher-trust households, when facing higher barrier from land administration, tend to invest more on agricultural land compared to low-trust households where household heads are male. We also find that high-trust households enhance land property rights when facing obstacles from land administration.

信托和土地管理对经济成果的影响：来自越南的证据

摘要 本文研究了社会信任与土地管理等制度的相互作用如何影响越南的家庭经济决策。使用 2008 年至 2014 年农村家庭的面板数据集，我们表明土地管理持续时间对农业投资的负面影响在信任水平较高的农村家庭中较低。与户主为男性的低信任家庭相比，高信任家庭在面临更高的土地管理障碍时，往往会更多地投资于农地。我们还发现，当面临土地管理的障碍时，高信任度家庭会增强土地产权。
