Abstract :Trust is an essential part of social capital and it leads to economic, social, and institutional consequences. Constructing trust within a community is directly related to the peace in the community. We see that civil conflicts affect the trust level of the community. In this study, we investigate the impact of civil conflict on within-group and out-group trust. To test this, we used the Spatial Regression Discontinuity Design technique for chosen areas of Pakistan. We found that during conflict times within-group bond is stronger than out-group trust, and migration increased with the conflict level.
