There was an interesting study looking at measures of honesty and economic growth: https://www.uea.ac.uk/documents/3154295/7054672/Honesty+pape....

Chinese nationals were in the top 2 of both measures of dishonesty (which didn't correlate all that well in general, so I'm not sure "honesty" is all that easy to measure), while British nationals were in the bottom 2 of both. One of the correlations they found was that rates of honesty were correlated with rates of Protestant Christianity.

It would be interesting to see results of that game played for a million dollars. You go into a room alone and flip a coin. If you flip heads you win the million dollars. If you flip tails you win nothing.

It's also interesting that in situations like the Wells Fargo scandal, honesty didn't even matter. If you were honest, you were simply fired.
