The statistical data consist of panel data for 28 countries from 2007 to 2014.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Findings<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Trust in people (TP) and institutional confidence (IC) have different shapes of movement over the period and the change speed of IC has decreased much faster than that of TP. While TP in high income countries is positioned in relatively high ranks, IC of middle income countries tends to be ranked in higher ranks. While the telecommunication infrastructure index (TII) has continuously increased in all countries for the entire period, open service index (OSI) has not increased at the same rate since improving OSI is not easier than TII. As OSI increases, IC may affect an increase to a certain point and then decrease in an inverted U-shape. The result of this relationship emphasizes on the importance of OSI along with TII in building trust, particularly with institutions.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Research limitations\/implications<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>The examination of the relationship of trust, ICT and income in quantifiable values can contribute to understanding the direction of movement and change speed toward trust building with people and institutions.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Practical implications<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>To promote levels of trust, countries should consider different strategies for growing TP and institutions and concentrate on improving ICT-mediated services more than installing ICT facilities.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Originality\/value<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Quantifying the interactions of a qualitative concept of trust with ICT facilities, online services, and income levels presents an in-depth analysis of TP and with institutions.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/oir-06-2016-0158","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,2,1]],"date-time":"2018-02-01T07:14:08Z","timestamp":1517469248000},"page":"268-281","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Trust, ICT and income: their relationships and implications"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"42","author":[{"given":"Eun G.","family":"Park","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wankeun","family":"Oh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"140","reference":[{"issue":"4","key":"key2020092913025331700_ref001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1346","DOI":"10.4284\/0038-4038-78.4.1346","article-title":"How does social trust affect economic growth?","volume":"78","year":"2012","journal-title":"Southern Economic Journal"},{"issue":"3","key":"key2020092913025331700_ref002","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"889","DOI":"10.1111\/iere.12125","article-title":"Trust, values, and false consensus","volume":"56","year":"2015","journal-title":"International Economic Review"},{"issue":"7","key":"key2020092913025331700_ref003","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1487","DOI":"10.1002\/asi.21346","article-title":"Behaviors, adverse events, and dispositions: an empirical study of online discretion and information control","volume":"61","year":"2010","journal-title":"Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology"},{"key":"key2020092913025331700_ref004","unstructured":"Cyr, D. and Larios, H.
