| 520 | 1 | |a "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, Stephan Meier analyses peoples's decisions to contribute to public goods.

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."--Jacket. | |
