The vast amount of research devoted to public goods games has shown that contributions may be dramatically affected by varying framing conditions. This is particularly relevant in the context of donations to charities and non-governmental organizations. Here, we design a multiple public goods experiment by introducing five types of funds, each differing in the fraction of the contribution that is donated to a charity. We found that people contribute more to public goods when the associated social donations are presented as indirect rather than as direct donations. At the same time, the fraction of the donations devoted to charity is not affected by the framing. We have also found that, on average, women contribute to public goods and donate to charity significantly more than men. These findings are of potential interest to the design of social investment tools, in particular for charities to ask for better institutional designs from policy makers.
大量关于公共物品博弈的研究表明，不同的框架条件可能会对贡献产生显著影响。这在向慈善机构和非政府组织捐款的背景下尤为相关。在这里，我们通过引入五种类型的基金设计了一个多重公共物品实验，每种基金在捐赠给慈善机构的贡献比例上有所不同。我们发现，当相关的社会捐赠以间接而非直接捐赠的形式呈现时，人们对公共物品的贡献更多。同时，用于慈善的捐赠比例不受框架的影响。我们还发现，平均而言，女性对公共物品的贡献和向慈善机构的捐款显著多于男性。这些发现对于社会投资工具的设计具有潜在的意义，特别是对于慈善机构向政策制定者寻求更好的制度设计而言。
