Impure altruism and donations to public goods: a theory of warm-glow giving*
TL;DR: In this paper, the invariance proposition of public goods and the optimal tax treatment of charitable giving are discussed. And the authors show that impure altruism is more consistent with observed patterns of giving than the conventional pure altruism approach, and has policy implications that may differ widely from those of the conventional models.
Journal ArticleDOI
Giving with Impure Altruism: Applications to Charity and Ricardian Equivalence
TL;DR: The authors formally developed a model of giving in which altruism is not "pure." In particular, people are assumed to get a "warm glow" from giving, and this model generates identifiable comparative statics results that show that crowding out of charity is incomplete and that government debt will have Keynesian effects.
