Then why are the major donors rewarding sixmonthly payments?
I’m guessing it’s because they feel it increases donations among the people who don’t monthly-donate.
What sources of information on the topic would you recommend?
When in doubt about what policy is best, then perhaps ask what the beneficiaries themselves think is best policy? They have probably thought about it longer than you.
I think I’ll stop answering questions. I don’t see why you’re interested in my guesswork, rather than asking such questions to MIRI itself who could answer them more definitively.

Then shouldn’t they run the doublings in different areas/communities each month so as to normalize the resulting donations across time?

Can you suggest a place to ask such questions publically?
