Introduction to the Economics of Religion
总结了约200篇近期宗教经济学论文的主要主题和实证发现，涵盖宗教活动的经济分析、宗教团体特征以及监管与竞争对宗教市场的影响。
After a very long hiatus, economists have begun again to study the relationship between economics and religion. This article seeks to summarize and evaluate the principal themes and empirical findings that have appeared in some 200 recent papers on the economics of religion. Although some of the research concerns the economic consequences of religiosity, most applies standard economic theory to the study of individual religious activity, the characteristics of religious groups, and the impact of regulation and competition on religious markets.
