摘要

我们以2000-2013年期间25个欧盟国家为样本，实证研究了财政政策对犯罪活动的作用。我们的分析表明，紧缩的财政政策似乎对犯罪有积极影响。当考虑财产(非暴力)犯罪率时，这种影响变得更加强烈。此外，一个国家存在高水平的影子经济，对公共政策对犯罪的不利影响提供了一个非常强大的缓解因素。紧缩的财政政策和非暴力犯罪之间最初的紧密联系在没有证件的经济活动的存在下大大减弱，这些活动弥补了正式经济机会的缺乏。

CRIME AND FISCAL POLICY IN EUROPE: THE EFFECT OF SHADOW ECONOMY

We empirically investigate the role of fiscal policies on criminal activity using a sample of 25 EU countries over the period 2000–2013. Our analysis indicates that tight fiscal policies appear to have a positive effect on crime. This effect becomes stronger when property (non-violent) crime rates are considered. Further, the presence of high levels of shadow economy in a country provides a very strong mitigating factor on the adverse effect of public policies on crime. The initially strong link between tight fiscal policy and non-violent crime weakens significantly in the presence of undocumented economic activities which compensate for the lack of formal economic opportunities.
