近几十年来，伊斯兰复兴重塑了穆斯林社会。我们记录了阿拉伯世界运动中心埃及受教育青年的社会流动性同时下降的情况。然后，我们开发了一个模型来展示社会流动性的意外下降与不平等相结合如何产生由受过教育的中产阶级领导的宗教复兴。主要思想是宗教通过调整个人期望的参考点来帮助个人应对未实现的愿望。通过提高愿望，经济发展可能使社会更容易宗教复兴。
Muslim societies have been reshaped in recent decades by an Islamic revival. We document a contemporaneous decline in social mobility among educated youth in Egypt, the epicentre of the movement in the Arab world. We then develop a model to show how an unexpected decline in social mobility combined with inequality can produce a religious revival led by the educated middle class. The principal idea is that religion helps individuals to cope with unfulfilled aspirations by adjusting their expectations†based reference point. By raising aspirations, economic development may make societies more prone to religious revivals.
