Abstract
This study investigates the impact of religious traditions on enterprise rent-seeking and the mechanism of this impact. The benchmark analysis shows that the stronger religious traditions are, the weaker rent-seeking behavior becomes. The mechanism analysis shows that religious traditions can inhibit the rent-seeking behavior of enterprises by improving their sense of integrity and strengthening their risk aversion. The moderating effect analysis shows that regional corruption and market monopoly weaken the negative relationship between religious traditions and rent-seeking behavior. This study helps clarify the complementary role played by informal institutions in countries around the world.
