Paper summary
Discussion
“while matches increase giving to eligible requests, they do not appear to crowd out giving to similar ones, either contemporaneously or over time.”
- Matching campaigns at DonorsChoose.org increases (likelihood of, amount of) funding for one project
- But no significant impact on donations to other projects
Consider: Context, statistical power, potential for crowding out
