摘要：

A model of contributions to one's religious congregation suggests that since the operations of the congregation rely upon voluntary contributions from members, congregation members will contribute less as congregation size increases. This type of behavior, known as free riding, is supported by the empirical results. Furthermore, income, race, congregation expenses and denomination are key determinants of contributions.
