Did the Devil Make Them Do It? The Effects of Religion in Public Goods and Trust Games*
Abstract
We test whether religious affiliation and participation in religious services are associated with behavior in public goods and trust games. Overall, religious affiliation is unrelated to individual behavior. However, we find some weak evidence that among subjects attending religious services, increased participation is associated with behavior in both public goods and trust games.
