The Effect of Arrests on the Employment and Earnings of Young Men
利用警察记录与失业保险收入数据构建的大型纵向数据集,估计逮捕对年轻男性就业和收入的影响,发现影响幅度适中且持续时间较短。
Many young men commit crime, and many are arrested. I estimate the effect of arrests on the employment and earnings of arrestees, using a large longitudinal data set constructed by merging police records with UI earnings data. I find that the effects of arrests are moderate in magnitude and rather short-lived.
