Roman Catholic Economics
The popes do not call for “Roman Catholic Economics,” if by this it is meant a fully integrated treatment of Roman Catholic theology and economics. On the contrary, they repeatedly express respect for an autonomous economic science, whose insights they need for a fuller understanding of person and society. They do not want to build a new economic science on Catholic principles; instead they wish to engage the existing field of economics in a conv…
Faith and Money: How Religion Contributes to Wealth and Poverty
There are many avenues by which religious belief and culture might affect wealth (defined as assets minus liabilities): through education, family, career choices; through attitudes toward charitable giving; through intergenerational connections. This book provides a comprehensive tour of the entire map of possible routes from religion to wealth. I cannot think of any important way that religion might affect the wealth or poverty of households tha…
Rational Choice with Passion: Virtue in a Model of Rational Addiction
By incorporating a divided self into the rational addiction framework, this paper provides a rationale for and an explicit analysis of two types of budget-shrinking behaviors - actions taken to limit access to lifetime wealth in a given period, and actions taken to change the effective price of the addictive good.

Testing Hypotheses of Immigrant Self-Employment
This paper attempts to explain high rates of immigrant self-employment, relative to native workers. Three hypotheses are tested.

The data also support the taxavoidance hypothesis. These two hypotheses explain 62 percent of the immigrant-native self-employmen…
