THE ECONOMICS OF CRIME AND IMMIGRATION: A PANEL DATA ANALYSIS

Abstract

Immigration has become an increasingly important problem of the nations during the last half-century. This paper investigates the impact of immigration on crime rate by using a county-level panel data set from the United States of America (USA). County-level panel data for the period from 2012 to 2015 for 3142 counties are collected from the Census Bureau and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The findings from the fixed effect approach (FE) show that any change in the percentage of domestic immigrants has impact on violent and property crimes but not murder. The estimates find a limited association between international migration and incidence of crime. Data show that international migration and domestic migration have significantly different impact on the incidence of violent and property crimes. Also, the results show that unemployment rate is an important economic factor that affects the number of crimes per 100,000 people.
