چکیده
|
Using a stochastic dominance approach in an international dataset of about 10,000 catholic subjects,we show that incentives (based on absolute belief) play a crucial role in religious practice (church attendance and prayer). furthermore,we find that when both positive (heaven) and negative (hell) incentives are available,the former have a much stronger effect than the latter. the results are confirmed using kolmogorov-smirnov tests.
