A chapter in The Economics of Immigration and Social Diversity, 2006, pp 449-467 from Emerald Group Publishing Limited

Abstract: Models the trade-offs between education in secular subjects, formal and informal, and the formation of religion-specific human capital. Explores some implications of negative externalities between religious and secular education. Develops hypotheses about religious tensions in the American public school system and means of coping with them. Discusses some implications for social cohesion in a religiously pluralistic school system.
