摘要

本文研究了移民对智利犯罪和犯罪观念的影响，在智利，外国出生的人口在不到十年的时间里增加了两倍。我们记录了移民对犯罪的无效影响，但对犯罪相关问题和预防性行为反应(如投资家庭安全)产生了积极而显著的影响。我们探索了几个渠道，并提供了与低教育与高教育移民、种族相关的群体间威胁以及当地媒体的作用有关的暗含证据。(jel d83, d91, j15, k42, l82, o15, o17)

Immigration, Crime, and Crime (Mis)Perceptions

This paper studies the effects of immigration on crime and crime perceptions in Chile, where the foreign-born population tripled in less than ten years. We document null effects of immigration on crime but positive and significant effects on crime-related concerns and on preventive behavioral responses, such as investing in home security. We explore several channels and provide suggestive evidence related to low- versus high-education immigrants, ethnicity-related intergroup threats, and the role of local media.
