摘要

我们在一个大型在线平台上调查了自然灾害慈善捐款的需求和供应情况。我们记录到，大部分慈善捐款都用于一小部分自然灾害，这些灾害往往是媒体报道的严重灾害。慈善机构没有为其余96%的灾难筹集资金，这些灾难占伤亡人数的80%。使用事件研究型设计来探索慈善捐赠的时间模式，我们发现救灾筹款和捐赠是及时发生的，但在吸引了大量资金的大型灾害发生的两个月窗口内发生的灾害中，这两者实际上都不存在。我们也没有发现任何证据表明，对灾难的捐款会排挤对其他慈善事业的捐款。

Charitable donations to natural disasters: evidence from an online platform

We investigate the demand and supply of charitable donations to natural disasters on a large online platform. We document that the bulk of charitable donations goes to a tiny fraction of natural disasters, which tend to be severe disasters that receive media coverage. Charities do not fundraise for the remaining 96% of disasters, which account for 80% of casualties. Using an event study-type design to explore temporal patterns in charitable donations, we find that fundraising and giving for disaster relief occur in a timely fashion, but that both are effectively absent for disasters that occur within a 2-month window of large disasters which have attracted massive funding. We also find no evidence that donations to disasters crowd out those to other charitable causes.
