DESCRIPTION:The Economic Study of Ritual-Oriented Religions: The Neglect o
 f Priesthood\nKianoosh Rezania (KHK-Fellow)\nThe  focus on belief-oriented
  religions\, specifically Christianity\, in the  current economic study of
  religion\, together with the abundance of  sources from North-America in 
 this field\, leads scholars to pay less  attention to ritual-oriented reli
 gions in non-Western cultures. This  paper will discuss the above methodol
 ogical limitations in current  economic theories of religion\, by illustra
 ting it with a case-study on  Zorostrian rituals. The paper will point out
  the importance of  Zoroastrian priesthood for modelling economic theories
  of religion\,  taking into account that Zoroastrian priests were consider
 ed to be the  real supplier of religious content in rituals. This paper wi
 ll show  that\, for the economic modeling of these religions\, it is neces
 sary to  distinguish three types of households: lay-households\, priest-ho
 useholds  and ritual institutions (e. g. temples). Finally\, the paper wil
 l  consider the economic connections between these three types of  househo
 lds.\nVortrag im Rahmen des Panels Method and Theory in Religious Studies:
