摘要

本文利用禁止购买性服务的时机来评估其对强奸犯罪的影响。根据瑞典 1997 年至 2014 年的高频数据,我发现该禁令使强奸案数量增加了约 44-62%。这些结果对利用不同识别假设的几种计量经济学规范都是稳健的。无论从短期还是长期来看,强奸案数量的增加都反映了已完成强奸案数量的增加。然而,皮条客的数量并没有随之减少。综合来看,这些经验证据暗示,强奸案的增加与卖淫供应无关,而是与禁令导致的卖淫需求变化有关。与有关卖淫非刑罪化的文献结果相比,这里的结果符号相反,但绝对值更大。

Banning the purchase of sex increases cases of rape: evidence from Sweden

Banning the purchase of sex increases cases of rape: evidence from Sweden

This paper leverages the timing of a ban on the purchase of sex to assess its impact on rape offenses. Relying on Swedish high-frequency data from 1997 to 2014, I find that the ban increases the number of rapes by around 44–62%. The results are robust to several econometric specifications that exploit different identification assumptions. The increase reflects a boost in completed rapes both in the short- and long-run. However, it is not accompanied by a decrease in the number of pimps. Taken together, the empirical evidence hints at the notion that the rise in rapes is not connected to the supply of prostitution but rather to changes in the demand for prostitution due to the ban. The results here have the opposite sign but larger magnitudes in absolute value than results in the literature on the decriminalization of prostitution.

期刊介绍: The Journal of Population Economics is an international quarterly that publishes original theoretical and applied research in all areas of population economics. Micro-level topics examine individual, household or family behavior, including household formation, marriage, divorce, fertility choices, education, labor supply, migration, health, risky behavior and aging. Macro-level investigations may address such issues as economic growth with exogenous or endogenous population evolution, population policy, savings and pensions, social security, housing, and health care. The journal also features research into economic approaches to human biology, the relationship between population dynamics and public choice, and the impact of population on the distribution of income and wealth. Lastly, readers will find papers dealing with policy issues and development problems that are relevant to population issues.The journal is published in collaboration with POP at UNU-MERIT, the Global Labor Organization (GLO) and the European Society for Population Economics (ESPE).Officially cited as: J Popul Econ Factor (RePEc): 13.576 (July 2018) Rank 69 of 2102 journals listed in RePEc
