Abstract:
This paper examines whether religious practices nudge people to donate. We carried out our study by focusing on the month of Ramadan, which is considered a sacred month by Muslims around the world. The results show that Ramadan has a significant effect on the amount of donations. Moreover, those who observe Ramadan have significantly increased their probability of donating and the amount of donation in Ramadan.
