DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Render Unto Caesar: Welfare, Charit
 y, and Political Islam</strong> (with Maleke Fourati and Gabriele Gratton)<
 /p><p style="text-align: justify;">Abstract:</p><p style="text-align: justi
 fy;">Data from the first post-Arab Spring elections reveal that support for
  Islamic parties came from richer districts and individuals. We develop a t
 heory of political support for religious parties that explains this phenome
 non. We predict that the probability that a voter supports a religious part
 y (i) increases in income for the poorest voters, but decreases in income f
 or the richest; and (ii) is greater for voters in richer districts. We test
  these predictions on original micro-level data in a nationally representat
 ive sample of 600 individuals in 30 districts in Tunisia. Our empirical res
 ults confirm both predictions and suggest that belonging to the middle clas
 s and living in a richer district together affect voting decisions more tha
 n being a religious voter. We document similar patterns in other key electi
 ons in the Muslim world.</p>
