Donations in Japan: Hometown Tax Donation and Reciprocal Gifts

Japan’s historically lower rates of charitable giving have been increasing, partly due to the hometown tax donation system. Interviews found cultural differences in reputational effects related to donation visibility. Extrinsic factors did not crowd out intrinsic motivations. Rather, self-benefit encouraged participation, which then seemingly led toward development of other-benefit motives.
