Proximate stressors such as destructive fishing are key drivers of coral reef degradation. Conservation strategies that marshal local action and are tailored to the preferences of the target group are thus needed to sustain coral resources. We experimentally analyze the behavior of marine resource users in a coastal village in Indonesia to gain insight into whether people prefer to donate time or money to environmental or other charitable causes. Each person is subject to one of four treatments: monetary donation, monetary donation match, volunteer time donation, and volunteer time donation match. Contrasting with the existing literature, we find that participants give significantly more when donating money compared to time. We also find that matching donations increases the percent of people giving but does not increase the amount donated. This research furthers our understanding of what motivates resource users in a developing country to contribute to the provision of public goods.

本地资助养护：印尼行为实验的见解

诸如破坏性捕鱼之类的紧迫压力是珊瑚礁退化的主要驱动力。因此，需要采取保护性措施，以采取当地行动，并根据目标人群的喜好量身定制，以维持珊瑚资源。我们通过实验分析了印度尼西亚沿海村庄中海洋资源使用者的行为，以了解人们是否愿意将时间或金钱捐赠给环境或其他慈善事业。每个人都要接受以下四种处理之一：金钱捐赠，金钱捐赠比赛，志愿者时间捐赠和志愿者时间捐赠比赛。与现有文献相反，我们发现与时间相比，参与者捐款时的捐款明显更多。我们还发现，匹配的捐赠增加了捐赠人数的百分比，但并没有增加捐赠的金额。
