Market Wages and Youth Crime
AbstractYouth crime is widespread. To study the effect of market wages on youth crime, I analyze a time-allocation model in which consumers face parametric wages and diminishing marginal returns to crime. Under these assumptions, an individual who works will commit crime if the returns to the first hour of crime exceed his market wage. This decision rule imposes considerable structure on the econometric model, which I estimate using data from the National Longitudinal Survey Youth Cohort. The empirical model provides estimates of the determinants of criminal returns and of the wage responsiveness of criminal participation. Young men's behavior appears to be very responsive to price incentives. My estimates suggest that falling real wages may have been an important determinant of rising youth crime over the past two decades. Moreover, wages explain an important component of the racial differential in criminal participation, and they largely explain the age distribution of crime.

This is a great post! I missed it earlier because I was out sick.. because I worked too hard, didn't sleep enough and a germ took me down. While I was offline, in between nose blowings, I was stunned to realize the world didn't come crashing down because I was out!
Shonali, we - and everyone commenting on and mentioned in this post - have been around long enough to see many social media high fliers come and go. Often, I can remember wishing those people hadn't burned themselves out...that I would prefer infrequent posts from them than none at all. Now I realize, this is us. :-)
Not only do we want things perfect, as you and Gini note, but many of us put so much pressure on ourselves around *volume.* Yes, maybe we'll get more eyeballs the more we do, but that's quite the hamster wheel -- whether you have a team behind you or not. Since there's no limit to how much we can do on social media, we just have to set realistic boundaries for our sanity.
