Field
Intervention (Public)

Before
The study will be conducted in two parts: first, a survey covering demographic
questions and religious beliefs and behaviour and second, a decision task
presenting participants with binary choices on ways to spend 11GHS.
Our interest is 1) to investigate the effects of increasing the salience of life accidents risk (informaton treatment) and the effect of providing individuals an insurance policy (insurance treatment) on their preferences for making donations to different causes, and 2) how these effects differ when individuals participate in the experiment during normal weeks and when participation happens during "revival weeks" - weeks of intense church participation and in which churchgoers donate much more than in an average week.
