Impact or Innocence? Game Theoretic Clues to Why We Give | with Dennie van Dolder
Update: 2025-07-14
Description
In this episode we explore what motivates people to give, using insights from a Dutch TV game show where a live audience decides how to split €10,000 among three contestants. We discuss how real-world data from natural experiments can help answer questions about fairness, impact, and generosity - and what this means for fundraisers and policymakers.
Dennie van Dolder is Senior Lecturer (Associate Professor) at the University of Essex. His research focuses on behavioural economics and empirical game theory, often drawing on data from game shows to study real-life decision-making.
