Seminario IECON-Modalidad Virtual "The Unequal Impact of Natural Light on Crime"Presenta Emiliano Tealde (Universidad Católica del Uruguay-UCU) Abstract "This paper studies the relationship between ambient light and criminal activity. A Becker-style crime model is developed where it is shown that in areas with less public lighting a sudden increase in ambient light produces a higher reduction in crime. The Daylight Saving Time, the natural experiment used, induces a sharp increase in natural light during crime-intense hours. Using geolocated data on crime and public lighting for the city of Montevideo in Uruguay, regression discontinuity estimates identify a strong and statistically significant decrease in robbery of 17-percent. The decrease is larger in poorly lit areas". Martes 26/05/2020 12 hs. Zoom ID: 957 4591 5950 Contraseña: 4k?7YQk2U4
