| Abstract: | This paper provides new empirical evidence about the existence of a Catholic wage premium. A simple allocation- of-time model provides two explanations for the observation that those persons raised in the Catholic region earn more than their non-Catholic counterparts. The Catholic region may add to a person's stock of human capital and/or it may act as a signal of desirable labor market characteristics, such as discipline, honesty, trustworthiness, and high motivation. |
