"Crime at Your Doorstep: Gender-Specific Effects on University Student Performance"

📄 Full paper: ieb.ub.edu/wp-content/u...

🎓 Why it matters
Educational outcomes are shaped not just by ability or effort—but also by exposure to violence.

👉 This contributes to inequality in both education and future labor market trajectories.

📉 Key Findings (2/2)

- Female students are more affected by sexual and gender-based violence and threats at close distance
- Male students’ performance is more influenced by injuries and robberies

📉 Key Findings (1/2)

- Violent crimes negatively affect student performance.
- Non-violent crimes show no significant impact.
- High-ability female students are primarily affected.
- Male students in the lower to middle grade distribution also experience adverse effects.

🎯 We investigate how local crime impacts university students' academic performance and gender differences.

🔬 We exploit granular local crime variations near students' homes before final exams to identify causal effects with a HDFE panel data (student, exam & spatial trends FE)
