Coefficients are OLS estimates, standard errors (clustered at country level) are displayed in parentheses, observations are weighted by the sampling weights provided by Gallup to achieve (ex post) representativeness. All regressions include subnational region fixed effects. HH means household. Base category are individuals with prosociality in the bottom 25% of the global distribution. Prosociality in 2nd quarter is a dummy variable indicating whether an individual’s prosociality lies above the bottom 25% and below the median. Prosociality in 3rd quarter is a dummy variable indicating whether an individual’s prosociality lies above the median and below the top 25%. Prosociality in 4th quarter is a dummy variable indicating whether an individual’s prosociality lies in the top 25%. Data source: GPS and Gallup World Poll (76 countries). Significance levels regarding two-sided t-tests: *p < 0.1, **p < 0.05, ***p < 0.01.
