| Tiivistelmä: | The authors introduce spatial-location models into the economics of religion. They offer a new explanation for the observed tendency of state churches to locate toward the 'low-tension' end of the 'strictness continuum' obtained through the conjunction of 'benovelent preferences' and asymmetric costs of going to a more or less strict church tran one prefers. The derive implications regarding the relationship between religious strictness and memberhip. |
