dc.description.abstract	Trust as key component of social capital has become a main topic throughout the social sciences. The paper examines what causes cross-country differences in generalized trust in 81 developing countries. We suggest that human mobility has an effect on generalized trust both through short-term and long-term relations, which are measured through international tourism and international migration, respectively. This hypothesis is tested in this paper considering other determinants of trust that have been studied in previous literature. Moreover, this is the first paper as far as we know that includes international tourism as a potential determinant of trust. The outcomes suggest that only some factors can be considered significant. Population density shows to increase trust while income inequality and linguistic diversity reduce trust. International migration has a positive impact on generalized trust whereas the effect of international tourism is not significant.	en_US
