Matching donations without crowding out? Some theoretical considerations and a field experiment

Adena, Maja; Huck, Steffen - 2015

In this paper, we present evidence from a large-scale natural experiment in which different fundraising schemes are tested and compared: lead donor, standard linear matching (1:1), and an alternative matching scheme in which the matching amount goes to another project. The lead donor treatment,...

Adena, Maja - 2014

I estimate permanent and transitory tax-price and income elasticity of charitable giving in Germany using a rich panel … data of tax return for the years 2001-2006. Income tax reforms were implemented in 2004 and 2005.

Charitable Giving and Nonbinding Contribution-Level Suggestions - Evidence from a Field Experiment

Adena, Maja; Huck, Steffen; Rasul, Imran - 2014

When asking for donations, charitable organizations often use suggestions concerning the amount of potential contributions. In our randomized field experiment, opera visitors received solicitation letters asking to support a social youth project organized by the opera house. The three different...

Matching donations without crowding out? Some theoretical considerations, a field, and a lab experiment

Adena, Maja; Huck, Steffen - 2017

Is there a way of matching donations that avoids crowding out? We introduce a novel matching method where the matched amount is allocated to a different project, present some simple theoretical considerations that predict reduced crowding out or crowding in (depending on the degree of...

Giving once, giving twice: A two-period field experiment on intertemporal crowding in charitable giving

Adena, Maja; Huck, Steffen - 2018

We study intertemporal crowding between two fundraising campaigns for the same charitable organization by manipulating donors' beliefs about the likelihood of future campaigns in two subsequent field experiments. The data shows that initial giving is decreasing in the likelihood of a future...

Online fundraising, self-image, and the long-term impact of ask avoidance

Adena, Maja; Huck, Steffen - 2018

We provide the first field evidence pointing at the role of pure self-image, inde-pendent of social image, in charitable giving. In an online fundraising campaign for a social youth project run on an opera ticket booking platform we document how individuals appear to engage in self-deception to...

Testing Consumer Theory: Evidence From a Natural Field Experiment

Adena, Maja; Huck, Steffen; Rasul, Imran - 2017

We present evidence from a natural field experiment designed to shed light on whether individual behavior is consistent with a neoclassical model of utility maximization subject to budget constraints. We do this through the lens of a field experiment on charitable giving. We find that the...

Online Fundraising, Self-Image, and the Long-Term Impact of Ask Avoidance

Adena, Maja; Huck, Steffen - 2018

We provide the first field evidence for the role of pure self-image, independent of social image, in charitable giving. In an online fundraising campaign for a social youth project run on an opera ticket booking platform we document how individuals engage in self-deception to preserve their...

Does Online Fundraising Increase Charitable Giving? A Nationwide Field Experiment on Facebook

Adena, Maja; Hager, Anselm - 2024

Does online fundraising increase charitable giving? Using the Facebook advertising tool, we implemented a natural field experiment across Germany, randomly assigning almost 8,000 postal codes to Save the Children fundraising videos or to a pure control. We studied changes in the donation revenue...
