Abstract
This paper analyzes the determinants of providing financial support to revolutionaries, using a hand-compiled dataset of 17,000 donations to the Irish National Aid Association after the Easter Rising of 1916. Financial support is best predicted by literacy, marital status, religious affiliation, and relatively high socio-economic status. In this sense, donations to revolutionaries share some characteristics of a luxury good. I find evidence that long-run historical grievances (the Great Famine) also predict support.
本文分析了向革命者提供财政支持的决定因素，使用了1916年复活节起义后向爱尔兰国家援助协会(Irish National Aid Association)捐赠的1.7万笔手工编制的数据集。经济支持最好通过识字、婚姻状况、宗教信仰和相对较高的社会经济地位来预测。从这个意义上说，对革命者的捐赠有一些奢侈品的特征。我发现有证据表明，长期的历史不满(大饥荒)也预示着支持。
