Author: Neanidis, Kyriakos C. Title: Crime, Fertility, and Economic Growth: Theory and Evidence Summary: This paper studies the link between crime and fertility and the way by which they jointly impact on economic growth. In a three-period overlapping genera- tions model, where health status in adulthood depends on health in childhood, adult agents allocate their time to work, leisure, child rearing and criminal ac- tivities. An autonomous increase in the probability o¤enders face in escaping apprehension, increases both crime and fertility non-monotonically, giving rise to an ambiguous e¤ect on growth. A cross-country empirical examination, based on data that span four decades, supports the non-linear e¤ects on both crime and fertility. At the same time, it reveals a negative e¤ect on output growth. Details: Manchester, UK: Centre for Growth and Business Cycle Research, Economic Studies, University of Manchester, 2012. 49p.
