Within the constraints of the model, B may have donation threshold, above which they'll be convinced to donate, but the size of the donation will always be constant, but in reality, the size of people's donations may be heavily influenced by how much they see their peers donating.
Needs experimenting on real humans. Imagine the following situations:
a) I donate $100 to charities, all of them B considers useful;
b) I donate $50 to charities, all of them B considers useful;
c) I donate $100 to charities, but only $50 to charities that B considers useful.
How much of a "social pressure" does situation c) make on a typical person B? As much as a), as much as b), or somewhere in between?
How much does the response depend on how exactly I present them the data? For example: "I donated $100 to charities, for example this one."
