Project Description
Summary:
View help for Summary
We investigate the role of racial group loyalty on generosity in a
broadly representative sample of the US adult population. We use
an audiovisual presentation to manipulate beliefs about the race,
income, and worthiness of Hurricane Katrina victims. Respondents
then decide how to divide $100 between themselves and Katrina
victims. We find no effects of victims' race on giving on average.
However, respondents who report feeling close to their racial or ethnic
group give substantially more when victims are of the same race,
while respondents who do not feel close to their group give substantially
less. (JEL D64, J15, Q54)
