The economics of religion is a young and growing field that
sheds light on the role of religion in numerous areas of economics
including; economic history, development, conflict, political economy,
institutions, collective action, identity, philanthropy and social
capital, population trends and family dynamics, crime, health, beliefs,
and more. But getting started can be hard.

and more. But getting started can be hard.
This workshop will introduce a select group of graduate
students to the economics of religion through a combination of formal
instruction, conference sessions, advice, interaction, and feedback.
The instructional lectures will summarize key concepts and results; the
ASREC conference sessions will cover recent research in the field;
Q&A sessions will provide practical advice and resources; meals,
receptions, and other social events which will help participants build
relationships with both students and established scholars. The workshop
builds on the success we have had with past ASREC conferences and
advanced graduate workshops.
