Abstract
Using the Survey of Household Spending from 2012 to 2015, this paper studies (1) the distributions and characteristics of giver types and (2) the determinants of religious and non-religious giving in Canada. The paper employs both multinominal logistic regression and pooled Tobit regression to re-examine the results of two earlier studies [Chan and Lee (2016). Interdisciplinary Journal of Research on Religion, 12, 1–15; Chan and Lee (2018). Atlantic Canada Economics Review, 1] and adds additional variables (e.g. geography and behavioural addiction). It summarises the most likely characteristics of each of the giver types and re-examines the determinants of religious and non-religious giving among Canadians, ultimately determining that Eastern Canadians are more likely to participate in giving, although Western Canadians give more in terms of monetary amount.
