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