It was a pleasure editing this ambitious piece by @adam-hayes.bsky.social which fuses sociological and economic Insights. Being into methodology myself I was in particular impressed by the empirical strategy which I guess is best described as a three sub-study sequential mixed experiments design!

We conclude that volunteering during crises is neither a story of a temporary spike, nor decline. Instead, ordinary and crisis volunteering follow distinct logics, and unlike common assumptions, crisis volunteering is not spontaneous or bound to a single crisis—it can persist across multiple crises.

✨ Instead, those who stepped up during COVID-19 had a significantly higher likelihood of remaining active and persist in crisis volunteering when Ukrainian refugees arrived in Denmark in 2022.

Leveraging a panel (n = 694) running across the COVID-19 crisis and into the War in Ukraine we show that

✨ While ordinary volunteers transition to crisis volunteering during COVID-19, crisis volunteers did not spill over into ordinary volunteering after the pandemic ended.

Using surveys from before (2020), during (2021) and after (2024) COVID-19 we show that:

✨ Civil society was highly resilient to the disruption caused by the pandemic. Although ordinary volunteering not related to COVID-19 declined significantly during the pandemic, it has since bounced back.
