ECO 360 - Economics And Religion Diii, V

Institution:

Salem State University

Subject:

Description:

The interplay between religion and economics has always been important, and the events of the past several years have only served to strengthen the need to understand these links. This course employs economic theory and methods to study religious beliefs, behavior, and institutions. By combining economic concepts and real-world data, we will address the issues and questions listed in the outline of topics. We will also study the social, political, and economic correlates of religion. Like other socio-scientific approaches to the study of religion, the economic study of religion does not seek to evaluate the truth of religious claims, nor does it promote one religion over another. Three lecture hours per week. Prerequisite: ECO202 or permission of Department Chairperson.
