本文利用Becker時間分配模型分析台灣民眾的宗教參與以及宗教捐款。迴歸式分別利用普通最小平方法與Tobit模型探討社會經濟變數的影響。實證結果和國外相關的研究大致符合，亦即勞動所得在迴歸式中扮演重要的角色。另外，捐款金額和受訪者年齡，上廟宇次數和信仰程度與性別變數有密切相關。透過宗教市場的實證，發現廟宇之間的競爭會刺激宗教的活動。

The religious attendance and contribution decisions of individual agents are analyzed within a Becker-style allocation of time framework. Individual rates 0f religious attendance and religious contributions are regressed onto standard socioeconomic variables using ordinary least squares and tobit models. The empirical results, in line with previous studies, suggest that labor income does account for some of the variation in attendance and contributions. In addition, contributions are found to be correlated with the age variable and attendance is correlated with the intensity of belief and the sex variable. The empirical study of this religious market indicates that competition stimulates levels of religious activity
