Post-9/11 war deployments increased crime among veterans
Cesur, Resul; Sabia, Joseph J.; Tekin, Erdal - 2020
Several high-profile news stories have linked post-September 11 (9/11) combat service to violent crime among veterans. Nevertheless, there is scant causal evidence for this claim. We exploit the administrative procedures by which U.S. Armed Forces senior commanders conditionally randomly assign...

Pastore, Francesco; Sattar, Sarosh; Tiongson, Erwin R. - 2013

Becker, Sascha O.; Boeckh, Katrin; Hainz, Christa; … - 2011

Determinants and dynamics of forced migration to Europe : evidence from a 3-D model of flows and stocks
Brück, Tilman; Dunker, Kai M.; Ferguson, Neil T. N.; … - 2018
