家庭储蓄、信心与慈善捐赠——基于CFPS(2016)的实证检验

Household Savings,Confidence and Charitable Donation——The Empirical Test Based on CFPS(2016)

在追求精神享受的利他动机和追求社会地位并以此牟利的利己动机的共同推动下,拥有储蓄存款的家庭会倾向于更多地进行慈善捐赠,因此家庭储蓄的增加可能会刺激更多的捐赠行为。对此,本文基于中国家庭追踪调查(CFPS)2016年的数据,运用工具变量法,实证检验了家庭储蓄存款对捐赠情况的影响。研究结果显示:储蓄存款会促进家庭捐赠,这一效应在家庭规模较大的党员家庭样本中更加显著。同时,中介效应检验结果发现,在储蓄存款促进家庭捐赠的过程中,对未来的信心程度发挥了部分中介作用。

Driven by the altruistic motive of pursuing spiritual enjoyment and the selfish motive of pursuing social status and making profits,families with savings deposits tend to donate more to charitable donation.Therefore,the increase of family savings may stimulate more donation behaviors.Based on the data of China Family Tracking Survey(CFPS)in 2016,this paper uses instrumental variable method to empirically test the impact of family savings deposit on donation.The results show that saving money can promote the family donation,and this effect was even more significant in the sample of larger families with Party members.Meanwhile,the mediating effect test results demonstrate that the degree of confidence in the future can partly influence the intermediary savings deposit on the family donation in the process of promoting the family donation.
