DESCRIPTION:Mark Koyama (George Mason University)\, “Rents and Reformation”
 \, IAST General Seminar\, Toulouse: IAST\, May 19\, 2026\, 11:30–12:00\, r
 oom Auditorium 5 (Second floor - TSE Building).\n\nWe model the political 
 economy of the English Reformation to show how the Dissolution of the Mona
 steries (1536-1540) cemented Protestantism. Property rights over former Ca
 tholic monastic lands were insecure for as long as there was a possibility
  of return to Catholicism. Beneficiaries of monastic-land rents had a vest
 ed interest in preventing this. To provide evidence\, we compile a new dat
 aset of 16th-17th c. Members of Parliament (MPs) and their respective boro
 ugh constituencies. We show that MPs representing boroughs with more monas
 tic lands were more likely to support Protestantism during the reign of Ma
 ry I (r. 1553-1558). Those who had personal connections to such lands were
  also more likely to do so. In the reign of Elizabeth I (r. 1558-1603)\, p
 arishes with more monastic lands had fewer ‘recusants’ (Catholics). In 167
 9-1681\, MPs from boroughs with more monastic lands were more likely to su
 pport the exclusion of the Catholic future king James II (r. 1685-1688) fr
 om the throne. Finally\, we show that the transition to Protestantism was 
 a long process. Even after the Glorious Revolution\, boroughs with more mo
 nastic lands still had lower percentage of Catholics. This reveals that by
  the 18th century\, England had not yet attained what the model calls a Co
 mplete Reformation Equilibrium but\, rather\, only a T-stable Reformation 
 Equilibrium.
