Add to ORKGNumerous papers have documented that subjects in VCM and dictator games behave differently (usually more generously) with laboratory money than with money they have "earned " in the lab or brought to the lab in cash. Using a charitable giving experiment during which subjects could donate to up to three different real world charities, we decompose these "house money " effects into into two components: the "tangibility " of cash in hand relative to money (or ecu’s) promised on a computer screen, and the "Lockean desert " of earned money relative to random windfall gains. We find that both effects are important.
