Abstract

In this paper, an economy is analyzed where one group of agents, the altruists, cares about the well-being of another group of agents, the recipients. It is asked how changes in the size of these groups affect the altruists' charitable giving in the Nash equilibrium. I show that a pure group size effect, i.e., a proportional expansion of both subgroups can lead to less free riding and to a lower degree of underprovision relative to the efficient level of charitable giving.
完全复制经济中的利他主义和慈善捐赠
在这篇论文中,我们分析了一个经济体,其中一组行为者,即利他主义者,关心另一组行为者,即接受者的福利。问题是,在纳什均衡中,这些群体规模的变化如何影响利他主义者的慈善捐赠。我证明了纯粹的群体规模效应,即两个子群体的比例扩张,可以导致搭便车的减少,以及相对于慈善捐赠的有效水平而言,供给不足的程度较低。
