The distribution of giving in six surveys

Description

Mark O. Wilhelm, associate professor of economics and philanthropic studies at IUPUI, in "The Distribution of Giving in Six Surveys" examines six major household surveys of giving and attempts to trace the differences in their measurements to underlying differences in survey methodology. 

Notes
