I’d rather you have given vs I’d rather you would give

Both phrases are correct, but they are used in different contexts. 'I'd rather you have given' is used when referring to a past action that you wish had happened differently. 'I'd rather you would give' is used when expressing a preference for a future action. So, the choice between the two depends on whether you are talking about a past or future action.
