DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:BOFIT Seminar - Jan Fidrmuc (Université de Lille) - Does education affect religiosity? Causal evidence from a conservative emerging economy =0D=0A Co-authors: Mustafa Özer (Kilis Yedi Aralık University, Emmanouil Mentzakis (University of Southampton) and Özcan Özkan (Kilis Yedi Aralık University) =0D=0A Abstract: =0D=0A Do people become more or less religions with more education? The previous literature offers mixed findings on the relationship between education and religiosity. This may be due to endogeneity bias – education and religiosity can be caused by a third variables such as culture or upbringing. We instrument education by exposure to the 1997 education reform in Turkey which increased mandatory schooling from 5 to 8 years. The reform increased the probability that young girls complete 8 years of schooling and reduced their later-in-life self-reported religiosity. In contrast, it did not influence such outcomes for boys. These effects are primarily observed for females growing up in strongly religious or poor areas.=0D=0A  =0D=0A Online BOFIT seminars are open to all researchers interested in the subjects covered.  Those wishing to attend a seminar are kindly asked to register in advance, by filling in the  Online Registration Form. =0D=0A The registration for each seminar is open until 9:00 am the day of the seminar.
