SUMMARY:Pauline Grosjean - UNSW Australia
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Render Unto Caesar: Welfare, Charity, and Political Islam (with Maleke Four
 ati and Gabriele Gratton)\nAbstract:\nData from the first post-Arab Spring 
 elections reveal that support for Islamic parties came from richer district
 s and individuals. We develop a theory of political support for religious p
 arties that explains this phenomenon. We predict that the probability that 
 a voter supports a religious party (i) increases in income for the poorest 
 voters, but decreases in income for the richest; and (ii) is greater for vo
 ters in richer districts. We test these predictions on original micro-level
  data in a nationally representative sample of 600 individuals in 30 distri
 cts in Tunisia. Our empirical results confirm both predictions and suggest 
 that belonging to the middle class and living in a richer district together
  affect voting decisions more than being a religious voter. We document sim
 ilar patterns in other key elections in the Muslim world.\n
