What are people buying when they give money away? Is pure altruism possible? Who benefits from grants to charities and subsidies to givers? Is religious giving different? Which fundraising approaches "work", and is more charity always better? Questions like these make philanthropy and fundraising among the most dynamic research areas in economics today. This research review guides students and scholars from the time when giving was seen as "irrational", to the present when economics has fully embraced the complex and fascinating challenges of understanding why self-interested people can be so unselfish.

Four years ago Research in Experimental Economics published experimental evidence on fundraising and charitable contributions. This volume returns to the intrigue with philanthropy. Employing a mixture of laboratory and field experiments as well as theoretical research we present this new volume, "Charity with Choice". New waves of experiments are taking advantage of well calibrated environments established by past efforts to add new features to experiments such as endogeneity and self-selection. Adventurous new research programs are popping up and some of them are captured here in this volume. Among the major themes in which the tools of choice, endogeneity, and self-selection are employed are 1) What increases or decreases charitable activity? and 2 ) How do organizational and managerial issues affect the performance of non-profit organizations?

S’appuyant sur un large éventail de sources de données, cette publication construit et analyse différents indicateurs du bien-être des enfants dans les pays de l’OCDE. Ces indicateurs couvrent six dimensions essentielles : le bien-être matériel, le logement et l’environnement, l’éducation, la santé et la sécurité, les comportements à risque et la qualité de la vie scolaire. Ils montrent qu’aucun pays de l’OCDE n’est performant dans tous les domaines et que chacun d’eux pourrait faire davantage pour améliorer la vie de ses enfants et adolescents. Elle analyse également les montants dépensés par les pays au titre de l’enfance et à quel stade interviennent ces dépenses ; c’est la première fois qu’un tel exercice comparatif est entrepris pour l’ensemble de la zone OCDE. D’autres chapitres examinent dans le détail les politiques à destination des enfants de moins de trois ans, l’impact de la monoparentalité sur les enfants et l’effet des inégalités intergénérationnelles. En conclusion, elle fait un certain nombre de recommandations d’ordre général en vue d’améliorer le bien-être des enfants.

The resources of both governments and traditional philanthropy are either barely growing or in decline, yet the problems of poverty, ill-health, and environmental degradation balloon daily. It is therefore increasingly clear that we urgently need new models for financing and promoting social and environmental objectives. Fortunately, a significant revolution appears to be underway on the frontiers of philanthropy and social investing, tapping not only philanthropy, but also private investment capital, and providing at least a partial response to this dilemma. This book examines the new actors

The service sector, in aggregate, now dominates total employment and value-added in OECD countries, accounting for more than 70% of these two measures, and continues to increase in importance. While services may play a slightly smaller role in rural regions than in urban areas, they are the dominant component of the rural economy. It is clear that a vibrant service sector is both vital for a prosperous local economy and crucial for meeting the needs of rural citizens. This book provides an overview of the underlying problems in delivering services to rural regions. It contains a conceptual structure for thinking about rural service delivery problems and a strategy for thinking about the role of government in service delivery, as well as a discussion of the role that innovation and public management tools like co-design and co-delivery can play in designing better service delivery approaches. Also included are examples of different, successful policy strategies drawn from OECD countries.

With the resources of both governments and traditional philanthropy barely growing or in decline, yet the problems of poverty, ill-health, and environmental degradation ballooning daily, new models for financing social and environmental objectives are urgently needed. Fortunately, a revolution is underway in the instruments and institutions available to meet this need. Loans, loan guarantees, private equity, barter arrangements, social stock exchanges, bonds, social secondary markets, and investment funds are just some of the actors and tools occupying the new frontiers of philanthropy and soc
