Abstract

This chapter critically assesses spatial-location models of religious competition. These models concisely account for several key features of religious markets, are flexible enough to be widely applicable, and generate new insight into our understanding of religious competition. However, the models have ignored other key features of religious markets including cultural transmission of religious values, variation in birth rates across groups, and adaptation by religious suppliers.
