This paper estimates the effect of physical violence and property crimes on subjective well-being in Australia. Our methodology improves on previous contributions by (i) controlling for the endogeneity of victimisation and (ii) analysing the heterogeneous effect of victimisation along the whole distribution of well-being. Using fixed effects panel estimation, we find that both types of crimes reduce reported well-being to a large extent, with physical violence exerting a larger average effect than property crimes. Furthermore, using recently developed panel data quantile regression model with fixed effects, we show that the negative effects of both crimes are highly heterogeneous, with a monotonic decrease over the distribution of subjective well-being.

本文估计了身体暴力和财产犯罪对澳大利亚主观幸福感的影响。我们的方法在以往研究的基础上有所改进，一是控制了受害情况的内生性，二是分析了受害情况在整个幸福感分布上的异质性影响。通过固定效应面板估计，我们发现这两类犯罪在很大程度上都会降低报告的幸福感，身体暴力的平均影响比财产犯罪更大。此外，我们使用最近开发的具有固定效应的面板数据分位数回归模型表明，这两类犯罪的负面影响具有高度异质性，且随着主观幸福感分布单调递减。版权所有© 2015约翰·威利父子有限公司。
