摘要

我们研究了设定捐款的最高限额如何影响人们对慈善事业的捐款数额。在一个有210名参与者的实验室实验中，我们比较了三种情况：中性基线、建议捐赠金额和捐赠上限。我们发现，与基线相比，施加捐赠上限显着增加了捐赠的可能性和金额。此外，在我们的实验环境中，天花板的表现至少和建议一样好。

Do donation ceilings increase contributions? Evidence from an experimental study

We study how setting a maximum limit on donations affects how much people give to charity. In a laboratory experiment with 210 participants, we compare three conditions: a neutral baseline, a suggested donation amount, and a capped maximum donation. We find that imposing a donation ceiling significantly increases both the likelihood and the amount of giving compared to the baseline. Moreover, ceilings perform at least as well as suggestions in our experimental setting.

期刊介绍： Many economists today are concerned by the proliferation of journals and the concomitant labyrinth of research to be conquered in order to reach the specific information they require. To combat this tendency, Economics Letters has been conceived and designed outside the realm of the traditional economics journal. As a Letters Journal, it consists of concise communications (letters) that provide a means of rapid and efficient dissemination of new results, models and methods in all fields of economic research.
