Delinquency, Social Institutions, and Capital Accumulation

Ambrose Leung ()

Journal of Institutional and Theoretical Economics (JITE), 2002, vol. 158, issue 3, 420-440

Abstract: This paper models the link between teenage delinquency rates and underlying measures of human and social capital and tests its predictions on a large Montreal database. The model allows teenagers to choose among a number of competing time uses, and the empirical work uses binary and ordered choice models to test the theoretical predictions of the effects of participation in various social institutions.
