Charity, Publicity and the Donation Registry

Robert D. Cooter, UCB

Abstract

Many Americans donate little or nothing to charity, but according to Robert Cooter and Brian Broughman, our social environment is the cause, not human nature. They propose a small policy change to increase transparency and elicit generosity inspired by experimental evidence about the nature of giving.
