摘要：We study the factors determining the level of trust in banks before and after the 2007- 08financial crisis and how this crisis reshaped banking trust in transitional countries. We findthat younger, rural, educated, banked and generally trusting people tend to have higherconfidence towards banks in both periods. Among country-level covariates, growth rate ofGDP and Rule of Law remain significantly associated with banking trust in both periods.Finally, our findings indicate that the financial crisis has temporary impact on trust in bankssince pulling back the rate of GDP growth tends to recover banking trust.
