“…Finally, our empirical results reinforce previous empirical findings. In particular, the point estimate of violent crimes is almost identical to the one estimated by Cornaglia et al (2014). For property crimes we observe a larger but statistically insignificant effect, which is also in line with the results in Cornaglia et al (2014).…”

“…Results from our preferred specification imply that a one standard deviation increase in local crime rates significantly decreases individual mental well-being by one percent (0.442 MCS points) for violent crimes, while less strong impacts are found for property and total crime rates. The estimates correspond closely to the findings in Cornaglia et al (2014), both qualita-tively and quantitatively. As a comparison, we benchmark the magnitude of our effect of crime with other life events known to cause mental distress and find that the impact of a one standard deviation increase in violent crime corresponds to about half the effect from losing one's employment and one seventh of the effect from becoming a widow.…”
