Un aspecto no suficientemente considerado en la solución del dilema social de la redistribución de la riqueza es el papel mediador de la confianza. En este artículo presento evidencia preliminar a este respecto. Posteriormente considero varios mecanismos que pueden explicar los niveles de confianza interpersonal observados en 54 países incluidos en la quinta Encuesta Mundial de Valores (2005-2008). Los resultados de un modelo estadístico multivariado indican que las variables con mejor desempeño son el nivel de riqueza, la estabilidad política y, con un efecto negativo, la participación einclusión en los procesos de toma de decisión. Sin embargo, un análisis de los niveles de confianza interpersonal con base en las encuestas del Latinobarómetrorealizadas entre 1996 y 2010 arroja resultados parcialmente distintos. Modelos posteriores podrían resolver esta disparidad tomando en cuenta la variedad de trayectorias históricas en cada región o modelando el efecto de los mecanismos derivados de la estructura social, económica y política de modo distinto.
One aspect not sufficiently considered in solving the social dilemma of redistribution of wealth is the mediating role of trust. In this article, I present preliminary evidence in this regard. Later, I consider several mechanisms that may explain the observed levels of interpersonal trust in 54 countries included in the fifth World Values ​​Survey (2005-2008). The results of a multivariate statistical model indicate that the best performing variables are the level of wealth, political stability, with a negative effect , participation and inclusion in decision -making processes . However, an analysis of the levels of interpersonal trust based on surveys conducted between 1996 and Latinobarometer 2010 shows partly different results. Later models could resolve this disparity considering the variety of historical trajectories in each region or modeling the effect of mechanisms from social, economic and political structure differently.
