Abstract

Desde tiempos tan lejanos como los de Adam Smith, los economistas pusieron énfasis en el entorno social como un elemento clave para explicar el comportamiento delictivo. Sin embargo, el análisis empírico no siempre confirmó esta conjetura. Partiendo del marco teórico propuesto por Becker (1968), el presente trabajo identifica mediante un análisis econométrico de datos de panel para el período 1990-97, los determinantes de la tasa de delincuencia argentina. Al igual que en otros trabajos que estudian el caso argentino, encontramos que existe un efecto disuasión. Sin embargo, a diferencia de éstos, encontramos que existe un efecto de entorno social sobre la tasa de delincuencia, con importantes implicancias para el diseño de políticas destinadas a combatir la delincuencia.
