The surprising relationship between taxes and charitable giving
The Wall Street Journal: Roman Sheremeta, assistant professor of economics, conducted a study in class that showed how taxes relate to charitable donations. “There’s a perception among many people that government is wasting money or using it on issues they don’t care about,” he said. “Our study shows that this has an effect on charitable giving. So maybe we should be talking less about the amount of taxation, and more about the perception of waste.”
