Divine Policy: The Impact of Religion in Government
Published in AEJ: Applied Economics (Forthcoming), 2026
I had the chance to collaborate on this paper as a research assistant. The paper examines the impact of policies on personal values and beliefs by exploiting the staggered introduction of the faith-based initiatives across US states. A difference-in-differences analysis reveals that the initiatives strengthened religiosity and conservative-religious social views, such as attitudes against homosexuals.
