The Effects of Religion and Denomination on Earnings and the Returns to Human Capital
研究宗教和教派背景对收入及人力资本回报的影响，发现除犹太教外，宗教背景对收入影响不大，但天主教徒的大学教育回报高于新教徒，抵消了其大学前回报的劣势。
The effects of religious and denominational background on earnings and the returns to human capital are examined. When religious differences are constrained to be additive, apart from a Jewish differential, there is virtually no evidence that religious or denominational background affects earnings. This contrasts with Greeley's claims of sizable Catholic advantage. In separate earnings regressions we find that the marginal returns to Catholics from college education exceed those to similar Protestants. This offsets the disadvantage of lower precollege returns. Earnings differences between Protestant denominations appear to reflect the sorting of Protestants into denominations according to schooling and income.
