Le comportement des acteurs du marché du don

Jean-Didier Lecaillon and Bruno Jérôme

Revue française d'économie, 2011, vol. volume XXVI, issue 4, 57-80

Abstract: The contribution of the economic analysis is essential to understand the behavior of giving market?s actors such as donors, recipients, charity organizations and the State. Altruism theory reconciles prosocial and rational behavior. Nevertheless, the opening toward a globalized solidarity makes potential beneficiaries more distant and more anonymous. Therefore, altruism becomes impure and the giving market more imperfect, leading to the intervention of mass media, specialized agencies and justifies those of the State. Thus, any recommendation of norma-tive essence cannot be relevant without being completed by a positive approach of the real behavior of the State as regards giving policies.
