Data from the Household Income Labour Dynamics Survey were analysed for men aged between 25 and 54 years. Conventional human capital functions were estimated using Ordinary Least Squares (OLS). Our results suggest that Catholic men benefit from a wage premium of 6.7%, controlling for an extensive range of controls. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Applied Economics Letters, 19(10), p. 943-946 | Publisher: | Routledge | Place of Publication: | United Kingdom | ISSN: | 1466-4291 1350-4851 |
