  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.

  6. 5th ESS Workshop European Social Survey E1-12 a) CARD 43 For each of the voluntary organisations I will now mention, please use this card to tell me whether any of these things apply to you now or in the last 12 months, and, if so, which. E1-12 b) Do you have personal friends within this organisation?

  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

  14. Giving is likely to be overreported in EB • 5% report giving to a ‘political party or organization’; but only 2.5% is a member and only a fraction donate • 40% report giving to an environmental organization; at best, 28% is a member • Humanitarian aid is way too high (41%) 5th ESS Workshop
