Increased Generosity Under Covid-19 Threat
We study how the presence of threat, proxied by COVID-19 deaths in one’s geographic location, affects generosity. A large dataset of real-world donations (N = 696,942), and a 6-month longitudinal dictator game study (N = 1,003 participants) show individuals exhibited greater generosity following COVID-19 deaths in their county.
