摘要：

This paper explores the relationship between religion and social preferences. Religiosity is elicited with a multi-item questionnaire, and social preferences elicited with laboratory experimentation. Religiosity as a whole yields no significant influence on social preferences, because independent religiosity dimensions produce counter-working effects that cancel out. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V.
