Does Who Decides Really Matter? Causes and Consequences of Personal Financial Management in the Case of Larger and Structural Charitable Donations

چکیده
We study causes and consequences of financial management in households in the specific case of charitable giving. We test hypotheses using couples in the Giving in the Netherlands Panel Study (n = 1,101). We find that more relationship specific investments lead to deciding on charitable giving as one economic actor. Furthermore, we find that the partner with the highest relative educational resources has most decision making power over charitable donations. Separately deciding couples are smallest charitable donors. Households in which the male partner decides are largest charitable donors when only larger and more structural donations are considered. This can be explained by their more conservative religious denomination. Résumé Notre étude porte sur les causes et les conséquences de la gestion financière des ménages pour le cas spécifique des dons caritatifs. Nous testons des hypothèses à travers un panel de quelques couples des Pays-Bas (GINPS) en matière de dons (n = 1,101). Nous trouvons que davantage d’investissements spécifiques relationnels conduisent à prendre en compte le don caritatif en tant qu’acteur économique. En outre, nous trouvons que le conjoint au revenu le plus élevé détient le plus de pouvoir décisionnel quand il s’agit de faire des dons de charité. Les couples qui prennent les décisions séparément sont les donateurs les plus modestes. Lorsque des dons structurels importants sont envisagés, les ménages dans lesquels l’homme prend les décisions sont les donateurs les plus généreux. Une confession religieuse conservatrice peut venir expliquer cette conduite. P. Wiepking (&) R.
