Abstract

Experts bring economic tools to bear on philanthropic activities, addressing topics that range from the determinants of giving to the effectiveness of fundraising techniques. Economists are increasingly aware of the need to better understand philanthropic activities. In this book, economists address a variety of topics related to the economics of philanthropy, ranging from the determinants of giving to the effectiveness of fundraising techniques. The contributions focus on individual motives for giving and volunteering, and in particular how they affect donation outcomes, fundraising decisions, and public policies toward giving. Previous research has viewed motives for giving as embedded in formal models of economic behavior with rational agents who maximize their own utility while constrained by a budget. These models, however, have been shown to have poor predictive power, neglecting direct and indirect motives for giving. The contributors consider, among other subjects, the free-riding problem in these models; altruistic, direct, and indirect motives for giving, addressed both theoretically and with lab experiments; the linear public good game; the role of social information; the effectiveness of matching gifts and premiums; motives for unpaid volunteering; subscription models as a way to regulate revenue streams; and increasing reliance on public funds.

Abstract

Identifying a new approach to disaster response: spontaneous, compassionate, and impromptu actions to alleviate suffering. In Spontaneous Venturing , Dean Shepherd and Trenton Williams identify and describe a new approach for responding to disaster and suffering: the local organizing of spontaneous, compassionate, and impromptu actions -- the rapid emergence of a compassionate venture. This approach, termed by the authors "spontaneous venturing," can be more effective than the traditional "command-and-control" methods of large disaster relief organizations. It can customize and target resources and deliver them quickly, helping victims almost immediately. For example, during the catastrophic 2009 bushfires in Victoria, Australia -- the focal disaster for the book -- residents organized an impromptu relief center that collected and distributed urgently needed goods without red tape. Special bonds and friendships formed among the volunteers and victims; some were both volunteer and victim. Many victims were able to mobilize resources despite considerable personal losses. Shepherd and Williams describe the lasting impact of disaster and tell the stories of Victoria residents who organized in the aftermath of the bushfires. They consider the limitations of traditional disaster relief efforts and explain that when victims take action to help others, they develop behavioral, emotional, and assumptive resilience; venturing leads to social interaction, community connections, and other positive outcomes. Finally, they explore spontaneous venturing in a less-developed country, investigating the activities of Haitians after the devastating 2010 earthquake. The lesson for communities hit by disaster: find opportunities for compassionate action.

Abstract

This volume investigates how much governmental control is needed to reign in corporate and business greed and to make business "socially responsible" in Asia. It also questions whether business entities need to be reigned in by the government itself, or if other social, religious, or economic dynamics shape business entities in Asia. Moreover, it looks at how the Asian third sector influences BSR/CSR activities.

Abstract

La mondialisation accroît la puissance des entreprises en même temps qu'elle réduit les moyens des Etats de les contrôler. Cette redistribution des pouvoirs implique, de manière urgente, une redéfinition des responsabilités. La seule mission de l'entreprise consiste-t-elle à réaliser du profit ou doit-elle assumer d'autres devoirs vis-à-vis des ses travailleurs, de l'environnement, des Etats qui l'accueillent ou plus généralement des êtres humains dont elle affecte l'existence? C'est tout le débat actuel sur la responsabilité sociale" des entreprises. Mais quelle est exactement la nature de cette responsabilité : morale, juridique, voire politique? L'entreprise est-elle responsable et garante des droits de l'homme? Et surtout, comment de telles responsabilités peuvent-elles effectivement être mises en oeuvre et par qui ? Face à l'impuissance des moyens juridiques classiques, de nouvelles techniques de contrôle se développent, qui comptent moins sur la force de la loi que sur la pression des marchés, moins sur l'imposition de règles que sur la publicité de l'information. Codes de conduite, labels du commerce équitable, fonds éthiques, agences de notation ou de certification, normes de standardisation, autorités de surveillance, inspecteurs, informateurs, dénonciateurs, autant d'initiatives proliférantes, qui se concurrencent et parfois se complètent. Leur agencement finit par constituer, à la manière d'un bricolage, des mécanismes de corégulation, ajustés aux contraintes de notre temps, dont la logique s'écarte résolument du modèle de l'ordre juridique, national ou international. Ce livre en décrit les dispositifs. Il en analyse les enjeux et en trace les perspectives."
