Abstract EN

The effectiveness of tax incentives on charitable donation expenditures in Canada is explored, and the analysis is extended to compare the effectiveness across different donation sectors.

Price elasticities are estimated with data from the 2007 Canada Survey of Giving, Volunteering and Participating.

Results suggest that specific charitable sectors are affected differently by Canada’s tax credit system.

The findings have implications for public policy.
