RFBerlin Podcast Series
Welcome to the RFBerlin Podcast Series, presented by the ROCKWOOL Foundation Berlin, dedicated to disseminating cutting-edge research on the economy and labour market to the academic community and beyond.
We invite leading economists to discuss the key challenges the labour market and its workers are facing. Hear what they think about recent economic trends; the impact of new technologies, outsourcing, or migration; and what governments can do to mitigate turbulences. The podcast brings you up to date with the latest empirical research without asking you to move, do math or touch data, but by meeting you where you are.

8. Handbook Talk with Stephen Machin: How does crime impact the economy and society?
In this podcast episode dedicated to the new edition of the Handbook of Labor Economics, Professor Stephen Machin from the London School of Economics discusses the recent advances in the Economics of Crime.
What are the economic consequences of crime on society? What is the impact of crime on victims? Professor Machin illustrates how better administrative data has helped quantify the labour market and psychological effects of crime and has shown how such effects are long-lasting. Improved estimates of the costs of crime can inform more effective policy decisions, potentially guiding the prioritization of resource allocation for crime reduction.
