Religious Workers' Density and the Racial Earnings Gap
研究童年时期接触宗教工作者对黑人白人劳动者三十年后收入差距的影响，发现宗教工作者密度增加1%可使黑人收入相对白人提高0.027%至0.082%。
We explore differences between Black and White Non-Hispanic workers in the relationship between childhood exposure to religious workers and a worker's labor market outcomes thirty years later. We identify this relationship by exploiting two sources of variation: we use changes in the number of religious workers within states, and we use states' differences by following workers who moved to a different state. Our results suggest that a one percent increase in the number of clergy increases the earnings of Black workers by a range from 0.027 to 0.082 percent relative to the increase in the earnings of White workers.
