摘要

犯罪和日益增长的私营部门是相关的发展挑战。尽管它们很重要,但对犯罪和企业绩效的研究却很少,尤其是在发展中国家,部分原因是公司层面的数据有限。本研究使用了2014年在13个加勒比国家收集的生产力技术创新调查(PROTEqIN)的横截面公司数据,使用普通最小二乘回归和包括工具变量和倾向得分匹配在内的若干稳健性检查来调查暴力犯罪和公司绩效。考虑到商业环境的一个关键特征是高犯罪率,加勒比地区提供了一个恰当的研究。研究发现,即使将公司特征、影响销售的其他因素以及国家和部门的固定效应考虑在内,公司销售和暴力犯罪仍呈负相关。这项研究的结果强调了预防、控制和减少犯罪政策对发展私营部门的重要性。

Violent Crime and Firm Performance: Evidence from the Caribbean
Abstract Crime and growing the private sector are pertinent development challenges. Despite their importance there is a paucity of research on crime and business performance, particularly in developing countries, partly because of limited firm level data. This study used cross sectional firm data from the Productivity Technology Innovation survey (PROTEqIN) gathered in 2014 across 13 Caribbean countries to investigate violent crimes and company performance using Ordinary Least Squares regression, and several robustness checks including Instrumental Variables and Propensity Score Matching. The Caribbean provides an apt study given that a key characteristic of the business environment is high exposure to crime. The study found that firm sales and violent crime are negatively associated, even after firm characteristics, other factors which influence sales, and country and sector fixed effects were taken into account. The findings of this study underscore the importance for crime prevention, control and reduction policies to grow the private sector.

期刊介绍: International Journal of the Economics of Business presents original, peer reviewed research in economics that is clearly applicable to business or related public policy problems or issues. The term "business" is used in its widest sense to encompass both public and private sector—governmental, private non-profit and cooperative organizations, as well as profit-seeking enterprises. International Journal of the Economics of Business carries papers relating to three main spheres: The organization—to analyse and aid decision making and the internal organization of the business; The industry—to analyse how businesses interact and evolve within and across industries.
