Paper summary
Discussion
“Output information has a significant effect on generosity, mediated by the perceived prosocial impact of a gift, but the additional increase in generosity when adding impact information on top does not reach significance. ” KK: “this may be because donors are not in a deliberate decision making mode. When in that mode, only highly educated donors increased giving when presented with both output and impact.”
