If you’re talking about bunching donations or giving regular installments you have to take a view given the nature of the project and how much you’re giving I think.
By time preference you mean Friedman style lifetime consumption smoothing??
No, not really. I mean “give now or give later”, which doesn’t seem significantly related to consumption smoothing. Is there a connection between EA and consumption smoothing that I’ve missed?
nope, probably not, just the way you said time preference function. Casually, we’re at the age where we should be borrowing for consumption smoothing, so we might be able to expect having a lot of resource to give in later life—this is the only like I can think of.
