Is there a penalty to being a Catholic in Northern Ireland: an econometric analysis of the relationship between religious belief and occupational success 1 Part of the revisions to this paper were made while I was Visiting Research Fellow at The Policy Institute, Trinity College, Dublin and I am grateful to the Institute and to the College for providing me with research facilities. Earlier versions of this paper were presented at: the Villa Colombella Seminar, Rome, October 1996; the University of Leicester, June 1997; the Annual Conference of the European Labour Economics Association, Aarhus September 1997; at the University of Bombay, December 1997; at the Annual Meeting of the European Public Choice Society, Goteborg, May 1998 and at Trinity College, Dublin, May 1998. Thanks are due to participants at all these venues for their views. My special thanks are, however, reserved for Michael Brennan and three anonymous referees all of whose comments have substantially improved the paper. The research reported in this paper is based on data from the 1991 Census for Northern Ireland. This data, which is Crown copyright, was kindly made available by the Census Microdata Unit at the Cathy Marsh Centre of Census and Survey Research at the University of Manchester, through funding by JISC/ESRC/DENI. I am particularly grateful to Grainne Collins for help with the data and to Shishir Athale, John Bradley, Thomas Fawcett and Alister McCullough for help at different stages of the research. However, I alone am responsible for the results reported here, for their interpretation and, indeed, for any of the paper's shortcomings. 1
