Analysis of impact of the 2013 presidential amnesty on crime rates
Krejsa, Jiří ; Potužák, Pavel (advisor) ; Babin, Jan (referee)
In this thesis I analyze the impact of the 2013 presidential amnesty on crime rate. Using difference-in-differences estimates I evaluate its impact on crime rates in Czech Republic in comparison with Slovak Republic. These estimates are based on a balanced panel of data from 58 months. Based on my specification of model I estimate that the average effect on rate of both larceny and burglary is an increase by 6.63 % and no statistically significant effect on violent crime. Therefore I was able to confirm my hypothesis that non-random selection of pardoned prisoners would result in selective impact on the crime rates. I also discuss possible sources of bias of my estimates.
