我们使用一种新的识别策略来阐明赠款资助的效果。我们专注于申请英国彩票赠款计划的慈善机构。如果慈善机构在正式标准上得分相同，那么与质量正交的非正式标准很可能被用来打破联系，使我们能够合理地将赠款视为随机事件。我们发现证据表明，赠款对小型慈善机构产生了积极影响，增加了它们的寿命，甚至挤占了其他收入。
We use a novel identification strategy to shed light on the effect of grant funding. We focus on charities that applied to a UK lottery grant programme. Where charities score the same on formal criteria, it is likely that informal criteria orthogonal to quality are used to break the ties, allowing us plausibly to treat a grant as a random event. We find evidence that grants have a positive impact for smaller charities, increasing their longevity and even crowding in other income.
