  1. The Analysis of Regional Differences in PhilanthropyEvidence from the European Social Survey, the Eurobarometer and the Giving in the Netherlands Panel Survey René Bekkers Center for Philanthropic Studies, VU University Amsterdam, the Netherlands R.Bekkers@vu.nl 5th ESS Workshop

  2. 5th ESS Workshop How large are differences in philanthropy (incidence, amounts, causes) between nations in Europe? How can these differences be explained? Research Questions

  3. 5th ESS Workshop How many people report donations to various causes varies from one dataset to another. Even differences in giving within the same country vary from one dataset to another. Finally, differences between countries are explained by different variables in the two datasets. We’re in big trouble.

  7. 5th ESS Workshop • The Gold Standard: the ‘Method + Area Module’ (e.g., GINPS) • Incomplete coverage: ‘Area’ (ESS2002, EB 62.2) • Severely limited: (Very) ‘Short’ • “Methodology is Destiny”: shorter questionnaires yield (strong) underestimates of giving volume and bias parameter estimates Source: Bekkers, R., & Wiepking, P. (2006). ‘To Give or Not to Give…That’s the Question’. Nonprofit & Voluntary Sector Quarterly, 35 (3): 533‐540. Questionnaires on household giving
