چکیده
NGOs are widely perceived to raise their flag in humanitarian hot-spots with strong media presence in order to attract higher private donations.

Performing a difference-in-difference-in-differences (DDD) approach, we find only weak indications that private donors systematically and strongly preferred active over inactive NGOs.
