IMMIGRANT ASSIMILATION AND CHARITABLE GIVING
Researchers Una Okonkwo Osili and Dan Du bring us an interesting study of immigrant participation in the U.S. charitable giving culture. The study is based on data from the Indiana University's Center on Philanthropy Panel Study (COPPS) and was conducted in conjunction with the University of Michigan's Institute for Social Research, using its Panel Study of Income Dynamics. You will need to have a high tolerance for social science research jargon.
INHERITANCE AND CHARITABLE DONATIONS
In this 2002 working research paper (also based on COPPS data), Richard Steinberg, Mark Wilhelm, Patrick Rooney and Eleanor Brown ask the question, "Does the source of income affect charitable giving?" Sure, you betcha! Find out which wealth sources lead to higher charitable giving.
