Genetic Variation in Preferences for Giving and Risk Taking (2009, background): “Nineteen subjects provided inconsistent responses (2 % of the total sample) and these were dropped (leaving 307 MZ pairs and 135 DZ pairs for the analysis).4 We refer to this measure as risk aversion and it is our primary measure of risk preferences.”
Do fairness and race matter in generosity? Evidence from a nationally representative charity experiment (2011, background): “Meanwhile, findings from laboratory experiments on private giving of money show that subjects allocate more to recipients who, for various reasons, might be perceived as having greater moral worth (Hoffman et al., 1994; Eckel and Grossman, 1996; Fong, 2007; Cherry and Shogren, 2008; Fong and Oberhol”
Dictator games: a meta study (2011, background): “…Ellingsen et al. 2007; Brosig, Riechmann et al. 2007; Cappelen, Hole et al. 2007; Chaudhuri and Gangadharan 2007; Fisman, Kariv et al. 2007; Fong 2007; Knafo and Israel 2007; List 2007; Stanton 2007; Vanberg 2007; Whitt and Wilson 2007; Ahmed 2008; Ahmed and Salas 2008; Asheim, Helland et…”
A Literature Review of Empirical Studies of Philanthropy (2010, background): “For example, people are less prepared to sponsor welfare recipients when they know the recipients are unwilling to engage in paid work (Fong, 2007).”
Warm glow, information, and inefficient charitable giving (2011, background): “…dictator games with unconventional recipients (welfare beneciaries and diabetic smokers) in order to study dictators' sensitivity to how their gifts would be spent, though neither of these papers tested as rigorously for motivations as I do (Fong 2007, Jacobsson, Johannesson and Borgquist 2007).”
Mixed feelings: Theories of and evidence on giving (2010, background): “The theories considered are placed into the broad categories of conditional altruism or unconditional altruism , similar to the distinction Fong (2007) makes.”
Expressive behavior in economics and politics (2010, background): “44 On donor behavior when attributes of recipients are known, see Fong (2007). Donors then care about whether recipients are deserving of charity.”
