摘要
本文探讨了华盛顿特区在 1997 年 NBA 篮球队华盛顿子弹队更名为华盛顿奇才队之后的犯罪情况。球队老板之所以改名，是因为他认为 "子弹 "这个名字助长了枪支暴力。更名与球队发起的社区反暴力运动相结合，希望这些变化能够减少华盛顿的枪支暴力。我们使用合成控制模型研究了这些变化对华盛顿犯罪的影响。我们的分析表明，更名和反暴力运动对华盛顿州的谋杀案没有影响。
This paper looks at crime in Washington D.C. after the Washington Bullets NBA basketball team changed its name to the Washington Wizards in 1997. The team’s owner changed the name because he believed that the Bullets name promoted gun violence. The name change was combined with a team-sponsored community anti-violence campaign in hopes that these changes would reduce gun violence in Washington. We examine the impact of these changes on Washington crime using synthetic control models. Our analysis suggests that the name change and anti-violence campaign had no effect on murder in Washington.
