摘要

我研究了社区需求变化与志愿工作供给之间的关系。我提出了基本的理论考虑，认为志愿工作与社区需求增加之间的关系是模糊的。然后，我用一个县的贫困人口（即难民）数量来代替社区需求，并利用难民在德国境内的准随机分配，对两者之间的关系进行了实证检验。我发现，难民人数增加一倍，志愿服务的概率就会增加约 2 个百分点。这些估计值意味着，在难民危机期间，有 145 万人额外参与了志愿服务，即每个难民有超过一人参与志愿服务。

Do community needs affect the decision to volunteer? The case of refugees in Germany

I study the relationship between changes in community needs and the supply of voluntary work. I present basic theoretical considerations, which suggest that the relationship between voluntary work and an increase in community needs is ambiguous. Then, I test the relationship empirically by proxying community needs with the number of needy people, i.e., refugees, in a county, and by exploiting the quasi-random allocation of refugees within Germany. I find that doubling the number of refugees increases the probability of volunteering by about 2 percentage points. These estimates imply that 1.45 million people additionally volunteered during the refugee crisis, i.e., more than one person per refugee.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization is devoted to theoretical and empirical research concerning economic decision, organization and behavior and to economic change in all its aspects. Its specific purposes are to foster an improved understanding of how human cognitive, computational and informational characteristics influence the working of economic organizations and market economies and how an economy structural features lead to various types of micro and macro behavior, to changing patterns of development and to institutional evolution. Research with these purposes that explore the interrelations of economics with other disciplines such as biology, psychology, law, anthropology, sociology and mathematics is particularly welcome.
