Effect of Religious Attendance on the Middle-aged Worker's Wage in the United States: A Possible Causal Connection Applied Economics published online (26 April 2023): DOI: 10.1080/00036846.2023.2203450. Also: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/00036846.2023.2203450 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Taylor & Francis Keyword(s): Modeling, Instrumental Variables; Religious Influences; Wages The current study explores the possibility of a causal connection between a worker's religious attendance and wage. Numerous studies in the literature have already demonstrated a positive correlation between these two variables. For effective policy applications, however, it is necessary to find out whether there exists a causal connection between them. The study uses the US data and tests the hypothesis that religious attendance of middle-aged workers has a positive causal effect on their wages. Following an instrumental variable approach, the current study tests this hypothesis and demonstrates that religious attendance is very much likely to have a causal effect on middle-aged workers' earnings. This has important policy implications and thus deserves further attention from researchers and policymakers. |
