Abstract:  We report a new method for Experimenting over a Long Distance
	(ELD)allowing to simultaneously run decentralized interactive experiments in
	geographically separated subject pools. Applying ELD to an intercultural
	trust experiment with participants from Argentina, China and Germany
	we found a striking evidence for transcontinental trust behavior. In
	addition to Chinese senders’ discrimination of Argentinean players no
	discrimination in trust and reciprocity behavior was observed. Neverthe-
	less, we found significantly different levels of trust and reciprocity
	in the different national cultures.
