- Piper, Greg & Schnepf, Sylke V. (2007): Gender Differences in Charitable Giving
The predominant part of the literature states that women are more likely to donate to charitable causes but men are more generous in terms of the amount given. ... This paper examines gender differences in giving focusing on the distribution of amounts donated and the probability of giving using UK micro-data on individual giving to charitable causes. ... The analysis also examines differences in gender preferences for varying charitable causes.

Using results from a structural model and data from a national survey on household charitable giving behavior, I simulate the effects of a government policy that would increase eligibility for a preferential tax treatment of monetary donations on donations of both charitable goods.

Congress wants to encourage charitable giving because it benefits the country in so many ways. ... In fact, the tax code is so encouraging of charitable giving that it provides a rare “double-dip” opportunity in which you can get two tax reductions for the price of one.

RePEc:spr:sprchp:978-1-4302-6311-1_29 Save to MyIDEAS - Bariş K. Yörük (2006): How Responsive are Charitable Donors to Requests to Give?
Although this so-called 'power of asking' is a well-known technique among fundraisers, the existing literature does not pay much attention to the role of donation requests in charitable giving. We estimate the causal effects of charitable solicitations on both the propensity to give and the amount of charitable contributions using a unique data set, which was designed to measure the giving behavior in the United States. In order to address the endogeneity of the donation requests due to non-random solicitation of charitable donors, we link this data set to IRS data on charitable organizations and the 2000 Census and propose identifying instruments. ... In particular, we find some evidence that income, age, education, and race play significant roles in explaining the selection of potential charitable donors.
RePEc:boc:bocoec:653 Save to MyIDEAS - Dora E. Bock & Jacqueline K. Eastman & Kevin L. Eastman (2018): Encouraging Consumer Charitable Behavior: The Impact of Charitable Motivations, Gratitude, and Materialism
The United States is one of the most charitable nations, yet comprises some of the most materialistic citizens in the world. Interestingly, little is known about how the consumer trait of materialism, as well as the opposing moral trait of gratitude, influences charitable giving. We address this gap in the literature by theorizing and empirically testing that the effects of these consumer traits on charitable behavior can be explained by diverse motivations. We discuss the theoretical implications, along with implications for charitable organizations, and offer suggestions for future research.

Previous studies of charitable giving have focused on middle or higher income earners in Western countries, neglecting the poor. Despite this focus, the lowest income groups are often shown to contribute substantial shares of their income to charitable causes. In a large-scale natural field experiment with over 180,000 cli-ents of a micro-lending company in Kyrgyzstan, we study charitable giving by a population that is much poorer relative to the typical donors that have been stud-ied so far. In a 2x2 design, we explore two main hypotheses about giving by the poor: (i) that they are more price sensitive and (ii) that they care about their prox-imity to the charitable project.
RePEc:zbw:wzbeoc:spii2019305 Save to MyIDEAS - Nadine Chlaß & Lata Gangadharan & Kristy Jones (2015): Charitable giving and intermediation
Charitable donations are often made through intermediaries who can fund themselves from these same donations. Donors who purchase charitable output through an intermediary incur a principal-agent problem with unobservable prices. We compare charitable giving in an experiment with and without intermediation. ... The price of charitable output does not explain these types and appears to only matter after taking characteristics of donors' moral judgement into account.
RePEc:jrp:jrpwrp:2015-021 Save to MyIDEAS - Nadine Chlaß & Lata Gangadharan & Kristy Jones (2015): Charitable Giving and Intermediation
Charitable donations are often made through intermediaries who can fund themselves from these same donations. Donors who purchase charitable output through an intermediary incur a principal-agent problem with unobservable prices. We compare charitable giving in an experiment with and without intermediation. Overall, donors give less when an intermediary is introduced, a decision which can only be partly explained by donors’ beliefs about the price of charitable output.
