These did not work either. Reducing the anonymity of donations. Giving the option of forfeiting anonymity. Switching the default from ‘giving’ to ‘keeping’. Telling people they are a helpful person. Telling people the government lowered its subsidy, increasing the need for donations. Showing students stylized eyespots. 3-4 November 2014Behavioral Economics and Philanthropy Conference 7

Future Experiments 1.Giving with Moral Care 2.Crowdfunding Innovation Narratives 3.Global Solidarity Experiment 3-4 November 2014Behavioral Economics and Philanthropy Conference 12

1. Giving with moral care The moral principle of care as a trait is strongly predictive of generosity, particularly towards people in need. Can a manipulation of the state of moral care increase giving? Does it work through warm glow (duty?) and / or altruism? Randomizing care through induction, a writing task or semantic priming. 3-4 November 2014Behavioral Economics and Philanthropy Conference 13

3-4 November 2014Behavioral Economics and Philanthropy Conference 15

2. Crowdfunding Innovation An untapped potential of wealth remains uninvested in social and technological innovations serving the public good. How do prosocial impact and innovation narratives affect venture philanthropy? Randomizing prices and matching grants for training and workshops to estimate long term impact. 3-4 November 2014Behavioral Economics and Philanthropy Conference 16

3. Global Solidarity Experiment How prosocial are choices in online social dilemma games across nations? Pairing individuals with other participants and charities as recipients. Manipulate social distance and similarity of gender, nation, race, religion of recipients. Provide social information: actual choices of other participants. 3-4 November 2014Behavioral Economics and Philanthropy Conference 17
