Abstract

This paper adds to the literature on charitable behaviour by analysing the correlates of three types of such behaviour (donating money, volunteering time, and helping a stranger) in a global sample of 134 countries and 388,602 individuals. We compare the differences in the factors associated with multiple measures of charitable behaviour, using a wide range of individual- and country-level variables. We find important differences across global regions and levels of economic development in these factors. Our findings are relevant for NGOs and charities, in particular in designing funding campaigns.
