本文探讨了联邦政府的低收入住房税收抵免（LIHTC）计划对当地犯罪的影响。根据LIHTC计划，某些高贫困人口普查区获得合格人口普查区（QCT）地位，这影响了开发商因建造低收入住房而获得的税收抵免规模。确定QCT状态的联邦规则的变化在LIHTC项目的位置产生准实验性变化。利用这种变化，我们发现最贫困社区的低收入住房开发可以显着减少暴力犯罪，这在县一级是可以衡量的。对财产犯罪没有明显的影响。(C)2011 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
This paper examines the effect of rental housing development subsidized by the federal government's Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program on local crime. Under the LIHTC program, certain high-poverty census tracts receive Qualified Census Tract (QCT) status, which affects the size of the tax credits developers receive for building low-income housing. Changes in federal rules determining QCT status generate quasi-experimental variation in the location of LIHTC projects. Exploiting this variation, we find that low-income housing development in the poorest neighborhoods brings with it significant reductions in violent crime that are measurable at the county level. There are no detectable effects on property crime. (C) 2011 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
