abstract: 'We develop a model of crime in which the number of police, the crime
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
rate, the arrest rate, the employment rate, and the wage rate are joint
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
outcomes of a subgame perfect Nash equilibrium. The local government
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
chooses the size of its police force and citizens choose among work,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
home, and crime alternatives. We estimate the model using metropolitan
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
statistical area (MSA)-level data. We use the estimated model to examine
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the effects on crime of targeted federal transfers to local governments
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
to increase police. We find that knowledge about unobserved MSA-specific
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
attributes is critical for the optimal allocation of police across
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
MSA''s.'
