LINKING CRIME TO INFLATION, UNEMPLOYMENT, TAX RATES, AND ECONOMIC GROWTH

Abstract

The purpose of the article: show the connection between crime and fundamental macroeconomic phenomena — inflation, unemployment, tax rates and economic growth. Scientific methods: methods of mathematical analysis and probability theory, in particular, integral and differential calculus, correlation and regression analysis, methods of formal logic. The scientific results obtained by the author: 1) a law of the form is established: , linking the crime rate with the unemployment rate at a changing inflation rate (inflation is taken into account as part of the formula linking unemployment and inflation); 2) shows the relationship between the level of certain types of blunting and the tax rate (connection with the Laffer curve); 3) the connection between crime and Okun’s law is shown, when both the GDP decreases and the unemployment rate grows; 4) shows the relationship between crime and the kinks of the consumption curve in the economic growth model of Robert Solow, when transitions to a stable level of capital-labor ratio of a unit of labor are made according to the golden rule. Scientific novelty: lies in newly obtained scientific results. The practical significance lies in the possibility of using the obtained scientific results in the development of macroeconomic, microeconomic theory and criminology.
