Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-2789-9250 Framing in multiple public goods games and donation to charities 2021 Access copy available to the general public Unrestricted The vast amount of research devoted to public goods games has shown that contributions may be dramatically affected by varying framing conditions. This is particularly relevant in the context of donations to charities and non-governmental organizations. Here, we design a multiple public goods experiment by introducing five types of funds, each differing in the fraction of the contribution that is donated to a charity. We found that people contribute more to public goods when the associated social donations are presented as indirect rather than as direct donations. At the same time, the fraction of the donations devoted to charity is not affected by the framing. We have also found that, on average, women contribute to public goods and donate to charity significantly more than men. These findings are of potential interest to the design of social investment tools, in particular for charities to ask for better institutional designs from policy makers. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/E36-20R info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/FP7/317532/EU/Foundational Research on MULTIlevel comPLEX networks and systems/MULTIPLEX info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/H2020/640772/EU/Distributed Global Financial Systems for Society/DOLFINS This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under grant agreement No H2020 640772-DOLFINS info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MCIU-AEI-FEDER/PACSS-RTI2018-093732-B-C22 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MCIU-FEDER/PGC2018-098186-B-I00 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO-FEDER/FIS2017-87519-P info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/MDM-2017-0711 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/deed.es 3.653 2021 MULTIDISCIPLINARY SCIENCES 30 / 74 = 0.405 2021 Q2 T2 0.758 2021 Multidisciplinary 2021 Q1 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Meloni S.
