Should Leniency for Collective Acts Be Extended to Individual Crimes?

Florian Baumann

Supreme Court Economic Review, 2020, vol. 28, issue 1, 147 - 173

Abstract: I incorporate individual crime into the analysis of ordered leniency by Landeo and Spier (2020) and show that the proposed policy for collective crime becomes less effective and may induce additional individual acts. Unconditional rebates on fines for self-reported individual crimes restore the original effectiveness of ordered leniency for collective crimes. Conditioning fine rebates for individual crimes on the eligibility for leniency for collective crime further increases deterrence for both collective and individual acts.
