Forced migration and crime: evidence from the 2014 immigration wave to Russia
Shcherbov, Arsenii
Recent years have spurred significant migration movements, underscoring the need to understand their impacts. This study explores a widely-debated correlation between crime and migration. Specifically, I investigate the 2014 migration wave, studying the response of Russian crime rates to the influx of immigrants from Ukraine. I approximate local crime rates using court data on sentencing decisions and describe relevant migration flows with internet search activity. The application of the difference-in-differences method reveals positive effects for property crime sentencing and the heterogeneous response of violent crime sentencing. The findings of this study are policy-relevant and could prove beneficial in understanding and mitigating the effects of future migration waves.

Financial Connectedness of Eastern European Stock Markets Abstract The connectedness of financial assets and markets represents an essential concept that has long-lasting consequences for the assessment of risk. Thus, it is important to correctly measure dependencies and describe their dynamics to predict future responses of markets to shocks. In this thesis, I focus on the connectedness of Eastern European stock markets and assess the relationships between returns and volatilities in these markets, account- ing for the presence of cryptocurrency markets and other major developed markets. I describe conditional correlations of returns from the DCC model of Engle (2002, JBES). Using the spillover framework proposed by Diebold and Yılmaz (2009, EJ) I measure the connectedness from a static and dynamic perspective. The results indicate that Eastern European markets are tightly connected. The measures of connectedness were fluctuat- ing over time and have risen significantly as a consequence of the recent pandemic. The magnitude of the increase for different groups of markets ranges from 35% to 100%. Key words: Financial connectedness, Stock market, Spillovers.
