Which dimension of income distribution drives crime? : evidence from the People's Republic of China
Wang, Chen; Wan, Guanghua; Zhang, Xueliang - 2017
Income distribution is perceived to affect crime (Becker 1968; Thurow 1971; Merlo 2003). Consequently, economists have been modeling crime-employing inequality indicators as one of the explanatory variables, yielding mixed results. This paper argues that income polarization rather than inequality should...
