Abstract: | A unique data set on exact giving by individual households for the support of a rural health care facility is used to examine the determinants of charitable giving, including the role of altruism. The authors examine whether a household's decision to give or not give the amount it gives are influenced in the same or different ways by the household's characteristics and economic circumstances. The authors also examine whether a household's "altruistic history" affects its current giving decisions. |
