Abstract
This paper provides new empirical evidence about the existence of a Catholic wage premium. A simple allocation‐of‐time model provides two explanations for the observation that those persons raised in the Catholic religion earn more than their non‐Catholic counterparts. The Catholic religion may add to a person's stock of human capital and/or it may act as a signal of desirable labor market characteristics such as discipline, honesty, trustworthiness, and high motivation.
