Why do people give? What does generosity really mean, and what shapes charitable behaviour in Slovakia compared to other countries? To explore these questions, we speak with experimental and behavioural economist Matej Lorko, a researcher at Bratislava University of Economics and Business and at the Institute of Experimental Psychology of Slovak Academy of Sciences. We discuss what behavioural economics reveals about human decision-making, how economists study altruism in laboratory settings, and whether charitable giving is driven more by empathy, moral values, or subtle forms of self-interest. We also examine how experimental research can inform public policy, support the non-profit sector, and deepen our understanding of cooperation, trust, and prosocial behaviour in modern societies.
