Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: This paper formulates and estimates a dynamic model of education and criminal behavior. Every period, individuals optimally decide whether to engage in criminal activities and/or to invest in human capital, either in the form of full-time school or accumulating experience through learning by doing on legal activities. Agents are assumed to be fully rational and forward looking in the sense that they take into account the future consequences of current actions. In particular, not only they evaluate certainty and severity of punishment but they also consider labor market stigma associated with a criminal record after punishment. The estimated model sheds light on the relationship between education and crime and it allows me to test competing explanations advanced in the literature. Some researchers have suggested that schools primarily serve the function of keeping kids off the street. Others highlight the role of schools in raising the opportunity costs of criminal behavior. The model is also used to evaluate alternative policies associated with the availability of criminal records, improving our understanding of criminal record stigma as a cost borne by ex-offenders and also as an expected cost taken into account by those considering engaging in crime. Estimation is based on longitudinal microdata from the National Youth Survey. The paper provides an empirically grounded theory that explains why so many criminals are high school dropouts. It also addresses fundamental questions regarding the role of criminal records policy in the re-integration of an increasing number of ex-offenders to the labor force.
