Religion and Economic Development in the post-Socialist Countries [Krasnozhon]

The transition of post-socialist countries from socialism to capitalism and from autocracy to democracy is conventionally considered to be one of the major events in the modern history of world economic development. The fact that some countries were more successful in transition than others inspires and continues to inspire a large number of empirical research typically focusing on the determinants of economic development while ignoring the impact of religion. This study is an attempt to fill this gap and investigate the differential impact of main religious denominations on economic development in post-communist countries.
