Matt Forstater observes that: "One would think that, according to the Becker -type approach, there is an 'economics of'...everything that takes time." There is in fact a Becker-inspired "economics of religion," associated with Laurence Iannoccone among others. See, for example, his J. Econ Lit article of 1998. Carmel Chiswick has also written on this topic.[Disclaimer: I have no specific knowledge of or special interest in this literature--I just know it exists]. Bob Goldfarb
