摘要

我们进行了两次筹款实验，以研究（1）对受益人的同情和（2）让参与者有机会将小额捐款归因于运气的影响。我们发现，向参与者发出帮助受益人的呼吁会增加平均捐款额。让参与者有机会将小额捐款归因于运气，则会降低平均捐款额。我们发现，在我们的环境中，后一种效应占主导地位。

An experiment on donations, personal stories, and bad luck

We conducted two fundraising experiments to study the effects (1) of compassion towards the beneficiary, and (2) of giving participants an opportunity to attribute small donations to luck. We find that exposing the participants to a plea to help the beneficiary increases the average donation. Giving participants an opportunity to attribute small donations to luck decreases the average donation. We find that in our setting, the latter effect dominates.
