Brother, can you spare a dime? Peer pressure in charitable solicitation ☆ (2011, background): “Shang et al. (2004) find that donations are substantially higher when the reference amount provided to a prospective donor refers to a previous donorwho is of the same gender.”
The behavioural economics of climate change (2008, background): “Shang and Croson (2006) and Alpizar et al. (2008) investigated how contributions to good causes (a public radio station and a natural park, respectively) are affected by information about a typical contribution by others; both studies found a positive relationship.”
Design of Stated Preference Surveys: Is There More to Learn from Behavioral Economics? (2010, background): “Context is of course a broad concept, but includes factors such as whether the action is observed by others (e.g., Alpizar et al. 2008a; Andreoni and Petrie 2004; Legget et al. 2003; List et al. 2004), information about what others do (Bardsley and Sausgruber 2005; Carlsson et al. 2008; Frey and Mei”
Testing for altruism and social pressure in charitable giving. (2012, unknown): “Third, it complements the literature that explores optimal fund-raising approaches using field experiments (e.g., List and Lucking-Reiley, 2002; Croson and Shang, 2006; Landry et al., 2006; Ariely, Bracha, and Meier, forthcoming).”
TESTING ENFORCEMENT STRATEGIES IN THE FIELD: THREAT, MORAL APPEAL AND SOCIAL INFORMATION (2013, methodology): “Moreover, it relates to the literature on conditional cooperation in the private provison of public goods (Frey and Meier, 2004; Shang and Croson, 2007; Fischbacher and Gächter, 2009).”
Do fairness and race matter in generosity? Evidence from a nationally representative charity experiment (2011, unknown): “We see our paper as complementary to field experiments, which typically meet all desiderata except the third (Frey and Meier, 2004; Croson and Shang, 2009; Landry et al., 2006; Falk, 2007; Karlan and List, 2007; Eckel and Grossman, 2008; DellaVigna et al., 2009; List and Price, 2009; Meer, 2009).”
Anonymity, reciprocity, and conformity: Evidence from voluntary contributions to a national park in Costa Rica (2008, background): “In order to compare our results with Shang and Croson (2006), we need to focus on average conditional contributions since, by the nature of their experiment, they were able to look only at positive contributions.”
Field Experiments in Economics: the Past, the Present, and the Future (2008, unknown): “A related set of innovative natural field experiments by Rachel Croson and Jen Shang partner with NPR as a platform for testing theories of social comparison ( Croson and Shang , 2005 , 2008 ) .”
Behavioral Environmental Economics: Promises and Challenges (2014, background): “Similar effects have been more recently studied in the field (Shang and Croson 2009).”
