Munich is one of the most honest cities in the world.
This is the conclusion of a study by the vehicle digitizer Twinner.
He had examined 75 major cities worldwide for civil morality, government transparency and theft, for example.
Accordingly, Zurich, Tokyo and Adelaide are the most honest cities.
Hamburg (5th place) and Munich (7th place) are represented in the top 10.
Twinner's goal was to increase transparency in the used car industry.
In addition, the company wanted to know what reputation car dealers enjoy around the world.
To know how honest people are when it comes to online reviews, the company decided to conduct this study.
The vehicle specialists used a series of studies to determine civil honesty through experiments as a stimulus.
This includes data obtained from the recent “wallet experiment”.
To this end, 17,000 purses were displayed in cities around the world to see how many of them would be returned.
Zurich, Tokyo and Phoenix performed best in this test.
Munich landed in 26th place.
The study also examined the administration using data on corruption, budget transparency and the integrity of the elections (8th place for Munich).
Twinner measured social transparency by the extent to which the rule of law, the right to have a say, responsibility and freedom of the press were given (6th place).
And the analysis of the economy factor included data on all areas that are not recorded for tax purposes, such as undeclared work (45th place).
In addition, the study authors determined how strongly the residents perceive theft (2nd place).
