Title: On Time and Money Donations
Abstract: This paper investigates the determinants of time and money gifts. We first 
develop a behavioural model which accounts for both types of donations, as
well as decisions about domestic and market hours of work. We then investigate
the issue empirically, using survey data for Italy. Results suggest that,
according to the theoretical predictions, proxies for “warm glow”, reputational
concerns and (impure) altruism are important determinants of giving. Moreover,
the unobservable determinants driving money and time donations are positively
correlated, suggesting a certain degree of complementarity between the two decisions.
