摘要

我们研究了捐赠决策的时机和类型如何影响慈善捐赠。在一项有勉强维持生计的收入限制的在线实际努力实验中，参与者可以在工作赚钱之前或之后向慈善机构捐款。我们没有发现时间影响捐赠倾向或捐赠金额的证据。然而，如果捐赠是以未来收入的一部分而不是绝对金额来表示，那么捐赠的人就会更多，而且捐赠的金额也会更大。提前承诺似乎对努力没有激励作用。我们的研究结果表明，要求捐赠作为未来收入的一部分可能会增加慈善捐赠。

The impact of timing and type of donation decision on charitable giving.

We study how the timing and the type of donation decisions affect charitable giving. In an online real-effort experiment with a subsistence income constraint, participants could donate to a charity either before or after they worked to generate income. We find no evidence that timing affects the propensity to donate or the amounts donated. However, if a donation is expressed as a share of future income rather than an absolute amount, more people donate and they donate larger amounts. Advance commitment does not appear to have a motivational effect on effort. Our findings suggest that requesting donations as a share of future income may enhance charitable giving.

期刊介绍： Social Choice and Welfare explores all aspects, both normative and positive, of welfare economics, collective choice, and strategic interaction. Topics include but are not limited to: preference aggregation, welfare criteria, fairness, justice and equity, rights, inequality and poverty measurement, voting and elections, political games, coalition formation, public goods, mechanism design, networks, matching, optimal taxation, cost-benefit analysis, computational social choice, judgement aggregation, market design, behavioral welfare economics, subjective well-being studies and experimental investigations related to social choice and voting. As such, the journal is inter-disciplinary and cuts across the boundaries of economics, political science, philosophy, and mathematics. Articles on choice and order theory that include results that can be applied to the above topics are also included in the journal. While it emphasizes theory, the journal also publishes empirical work in the subject area reflecting cross-fertilizing between theoretical and empirical research. Readers will find original research articles, surveys, and book reviews.Officially cited as: Soc Choice Welf
