Název v původním jazyce

Religion and economic attitudes in post-communist transition

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The role of religion has been discussed as a possible explanation of divergent economic development ever since Max Weber. This article examines its role in the post-communist transition. It adopts the approach of Guiso et al. which is based on data collected at the individual level rather than a cross-country analysis. However, with regard to recent literature we allow for a different interpretation of results. The analysis shows that religion still has an impact on individuals? economic attitudes, evenafter many decades of communist rule. Generally, religion is supportive of pro-market and pro-growth attitudes. The impact of different religions is not uniform, although none of them appears to be an obstacle in transition from a centrally planned economy to the free market. Further, the micro-level findings are compared with the macro-level to explain the differences in the course of transition among post-communist countries.
