The following outcomes of the Reformation regarding human capital formation, the Protestant ethic, economic development, governance, and "dark" outcomes have been identified by scholars:

¤ Human Capital Formation

  • Higher literacy rates.
  • Lower gender gap in school enrollment and literacy rates.
  • Higher primary school enrollment.
  • Higher public spending on schooling and better educational performance of military conscripts.
  • Higher capability in reading, numeracy, essay writing, and history.

¤ Protestant ethic

  • More hours worked.
  • Divergent work attitudes of Protestant and Catholics.
  • Fewer referenda on leisure, state intervention, and redistribution in Swiss cantons with more Protestants.
  • Lower life satisfaction when unemployed.
  • Pro-market attitudes.
  • Income differences between Protestants and Catholics.

¤ Economic development

  • Different levels of income tax revenue per capita, % of labor force in manufacturing and services, and incomes of male elementary school teachers.
  • Growth of Protestant cities.
  • Greater entrepreneurship among religious minorities in Protestant states.
  • Different social ethics.

¤ Governance

  • The Reformation has been credited as a key factor in the development of the state system.
  • The Reformation has been credited as a key factor in the formation of transnational advocacy movements.
  • The Reformation impacted the Western legal tradition.
  • Establishment of State churches.
  • Poor relief and social welfare regimes.
  • James Madison noted that Martin Luther's doctrine of the two kingdoms marked the beginning of the modern conception of separation of church and state.
  • The Calvinist and Lutheran doctrine of the lesser magistrate contributed to resistance theory in the Early Modern period and was employed in the United States Declaration of Independence.

¤ Negative outcomes

  • Witch trials became more common in areas where Protestants and Catholics contested the religious market.
  • Protestants were far more likely to vote for Nazis than their Catholic German counterparts. Christopher J. Probst, in his book Demonizing the Jews: Luther and the Protestant Church in Nazi Germany (2012), shows that a large number of German Protestant clergy and theologians during the Nazi Third Reich used Luther's hostile publications towards the Jews and Judaism to justify at least in part the anti-Semitic policies of the National Socialists.
  • Higher suicide rate and greater suicide acceptability...
