| Abstract: | Survey data are used to investigate the relationship between citizens' confidence in formal institutions and reliance on informal institutions in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH). It is found that an endogenous substituting relationship and the different institutional structures currently existing in the two BiH entities are significantly linked to respondents' confidence in formal and reliance on informal institutions as well as perceptions of higher indirect costs of institutions and a lack of their improvement are associated with a lower confidence in formal and a greater reliance on informal institutions; the minority ethnic groups in each region are less confident in formal and rely more on informal institutions compared to the majority group; and more reliance on informal institutions is found amongst males and respondents from urban areas. |
