Status for the good guys: An experiment on charitable giving
Abstract
We study the social status motive in an experiment at an art-house cinema in Germany where movie-goers can make monetary contributions to help the cinema become climate neutral. Our key result is that offering high contributors a “social status gift” that displays their good deed increases both the likelihood of a high contribution and mean contributions. It performs significantly better than previously studied mechanisms, such as the removal of anonymity, the provision of a reference point, or a neutral thank-you gift, and it also performs better than offering high contributors publicity through social media.
