    Este artículo examina un experimento internacional basado en el juego de la confianza entre participantes marroquíes, franceses y españoles. Antes de tomar decisiones, los participantes conocían la nacionalidad de su pareja. Nuestros resultados muestran que, en promedio, los sujetos de Marruecos presentan un mayor nivel de confianza. Además, confían más en los participantes franceses que en los españoles. En cuanto al comportamiento recíproco, los sujetos españoles fueron los menos fiables. Cabe destacar también que no observamos diferencias entre países en cuanto a la reciprocidad.

    This article examines an intra- and international trust game experiment between Moroccan, French and Spanish participants. Before making decisions, the participants knew the nationality of their partner. We find that, on average, subjects from Morocco exhibit a higher level of trust. Furthermore, they trust French more than Spanish subjects. Regarding reciprocity, subjects from Spain were the least trustworthy. Additionally, we do not observe country differences in reciprocal behaviour.
