Effectiveness of Charitable Lottery Design: Experimental Evidence from the Czech Republic and Russia
Original language description
The paper presents the results of a multicultural economic experiment that took place in two Central and Eastern European countries: the Czech Republic (CR) and Russia (Ru). The experiment was focused on studying the behaviour of Eastern European university students in a situation simulating a charitable lottery. The experiment was to a great extent inspired by the experimental design of Dale (2004). In accordance with Dale?s study, we examined the effectiveness of various lottery structures. From Dale?s experimental design, we adopted the fixed-prize lottery (raffle) structure, in which tickets are sold for chances of winning a prize. The more tickets one buys, the more probable is for him to win. We introduced a new scheme (lottery structure) ? the modified fixed-prize lottery - within which the chance of winning was equal for all contributing individuals (and hence independent of the amount of their actual non-zero contribution).
