ABSTRACT:Individuals contribute significant sums to environmental organizations, such as water-related groups, whose goals are to preserve and improve local water quality. These groups also fundraise to support these goals. However, the social cost of water pollution lacks contributions to water groups and their fundraising expenditures. If contributions and fundraising respond to changes in local water quality, there is a willingness to contribute toward mitigation of water pollution. Social costs should count these values. We provide proof of concept for this argument, showing significant evidence of local water quality affecting contributions to environmental nonprofits, as well as fundraising expenditures.

作为水污染社会成本的一个组成部分的贡献意愿

摘要：个人为环保组织贡献了大量资金，例如与水相关的团体，其目标是保护和改善当地水质。这些团体还筹款以支持这些目标。然而，水污染的社会成本缺乏对水团体及其筹款支出的贡献。如果捐款和筹款对当地水质的变化做出反应，就有意愿为减轻水污染做出贡献。社会成本应该计算这些值。我们为这一论点提供了概念证明，显示了当地水质影响对环境非营利组织的贡献以及筹款支出的重要证据。(JEL H41, Q53)
