摘要

慈善捐赠的收入是U型的吗？也就是说，低收入和高收入家庭将收入的一部分捐给慈善机构的比例是否高于中产阶级？几十年的相关研究发现，在美国，慈善机构的收入份额遵循U型模式，但学者们仍在争论，明显的U型是统计上的海市蜃楼，还是准确地描述了整个收入分配中的捐赠。我们与一家真正的慈善机构合作，进行了一项慈善捐赠实验，向参与者展示相对捐赠。我们通过实验验证了收入分配中的随机位置会导致U型收入曲线。因此，在现实世界的数据中观察到的U形似乎不是虚假的，而是相对经济地位对决策的真实影响。JEL分类：C91、D31、D64、D91、H23

The U-Shaped Charitable-Giving Curve

Is charitable giving U-shaped in income? That is, do low- and high-income households donate a higher fraction of their income to charity than the middle class? Decades of correlational studies have found that the share of income given to charity follows a U-shape pattern in the United States, but scholars continue to debate whether the apparent U-shape is a statistical mirage, or accurately characterizes giving across the income distribution. We partnered with a real charity to conduct a charitable-giving experiment where relative endowments are revealed to participants. We experimentally verify that random placement in an income distribution causes a U-shaped giving-income curve. The U-shape observed in real-world data therefore is plausibly not spurious, but a real effect of relative economic status on giving decisions. JEL Classifications: C91, D31, D64, D91, H23
