| Abstract: | With two centuries separating its first and second publications, there is no denying that the economics of religion got off to a slow start. Yet despite this leisurely launch, dozens of economists have now picked up where Adam Smith (Ä1776Å 1965) and Corry Azzi and Ronald Ehrenberg (1975) left off. Studies of religion promise to enhance economics at several levels: generating information about a neglected area of "nonmarket"behavior, showing how economic models can be modified to address questions about belief, norms and values. |
