| adam_text | In standard economic theory human beings are portrayed as
selfish money-maximizing actors. This book investigates the
conditions under which people deviate from this prediction and
when they are prepared to contribute to the common good in
more altruistic fashion.
Based on field experiments from charitable giving,
Meier analyses people s decisions to contribute to public goods.
He argues that people are more likely to contribute if their
giving is matched by more money
their peers also show this trait. He investigates the conditions
under which people are willing to voluntarily contribute and
draws conclusions on how the empirical findings influence
economic theory and policy.
Academic economists interested in behavioural economics or
public economics will find
Behaviour of great interest, as will the general public interested
irv the developments in economics.
