One thing is that ‘donations at death’ are likely qualitatively different to ‘donations during life’. This difference might be important in terms of how effective/desirable the individual donations are.
Currently, I’d expect older people to donate less to animal welfare than younger people. In the future, the way donation patterns differ might change. But there might be some differences that stay consistent over time, e.g. older people donating in a more/less risk-averse manner.
I didn’t take that into account! So yeah we have to factor in an assumption that the more we advance the average age of the giver, the less progressive the causes, with a bit of “lag” expected, for better or worse!
(I haven’t looked deeply into the model.)

Can you elaborate a little bit? I wanna see what your saying.
