DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\n\nWe examine two key dimensions related to the impac
 t of migration flows on crime rates. Previous literature has indicated a w
 eak relationship between migration and crime. Empirical evidence often sug
 gests that migration does not exacerbate crime rates and may even reduce c
 ertain types of criminal activity. In this paper\, we argue that a more nu
 anced understanding of these effects requires a decomposition of migration
  flows. Specifically\, we distinguish between return migrants and those re
 locating to new destinations. We highlight that migrants from regions expe
 riencing adverse economic shocks may have distinct impacts on crime rates.
  Firstly\, we investigate whether migration from areas affected by adverse
  economic shocks has a discernible effect on crime rates. Secondly\, we ex
 plore whether this effect varies depending on whether individuals are retu
 rning to their birthplaces ("returning migrants") or moving to a new one (
 "migrants"). Our results suggest that returning migrants lower crime rates
  whereas the effect of migrants on crime is contingent on the extent to wh
 ich their displacements were triggered by adverse economic shocks.\n\nPart
  of the UNO Economics Seminar Series. This research seminar runs from 3PM-
 4PM. Appetizers at Inner Rail afterwards.\n\nTo further the goal of having
  a social discussion\, the Department will buy the first round of appetize
 rs at Inner Rail at 4:30PM
