CEIS-Tor Vergata is pleased to inform you that, on Friday October 4th, 2013 at 12.00 pm, prof. Thomas Bassetti (Università di Padova) will present a paper on “Do Immigrants Make Us Safer? A Model on Crime, Immigration and the Labour Market†ABSTRACT We present a two-country equilibrium model with search costs in which the structural characteristics of the labor market in each economy affects the relationship between immigration and crime. The main result of the model is that countries with ‡flexible labor markets are likely to see a negative relationship between immigration and crime. By combining data from the European Social Survey with the OECD Employment Protection Index, we find supporting evidence in favor of this theoretical prediction. A policy implication of our study is that migration from a country with a rigid labor market to a country with a more ‡flexible labor market is mutually beneficial in terms of reducing crime rates. The Seminar will be held at the Faculty of Economics, University of Rome "Tor Vergata", B-building, 1° floor, room B Please, go to www.ceistorvergata.it for the complete list of seminars and events at CEIS.
