Call for papers for the 12th Transatlantic Workshop on the Economics of Crime. The workshop is organized by the Department of Economics, University of Gothenburg, and will be held virtually from Friday, October 1 to Saturday, October 2, 2021.
This 12th workshop will continue the sequence of Economics of Crime workshops in Paris (2009), Bonn (2010), Torino (2011), Rotterdam (2012), Frankfurt (2013), Milan (2014), London (2015), Stockholm (2016), University of Pennsylvania (2017), Paris (2018), and Amsterdam (2019). It will be held virtually from Friday, October 1 to Saturday, October 2, 2021.
We aim to bring together researchers from both sides of the Atlantic to present and discuss their work, allowing for an in-depth interaction between those working on the empirical and theoretical analysis of crime and illegal behaviour. We will aim to pick times of day convenient for all participants.
The workshop will consist of two keynote lectures – to be given by Anna Harvey (NYU) and Katrine Løken (Norwegian School of Economics) – and 10 to 12 contributed papers.
One of the suggested themes of this year’s workshop will be the economics of victimization, but the workshop is not limited to this topic. Other suggested topics include the following:
