DESCRIPTION:Santiago Campero\n\nUniversity of Toronto\n\nCrime Waves and th
 e Labor Market: Evidence from Mexico\n\nDate: Friday November 14\, 2025\n	T
 ime:10:30 AM -12:00 PM\n	Location: Armstrong 155A\n\nAll are cordially invi
 ted to attend.\n\n\nAbstract:\n\nWhile extensive research links labor mark
 et conditions to crime\, much less is known about the reverse causal chann
 el—how sudden increases in violence reshape local labor markets. I study C
 uliacán\, Mexico\, which experienced a sharp rise in violent crime in 2024
  after the arrest of a major organized-crime leader triggered a turf war a
 mong local factions. Using city-level employment data and a synthetic cont
 rol design\, I estimate how this crime wave affected local employment rela
 tive to comparable Mexican cities. The surge in violence led to a signific
 ant decline in male employment. Further analyses show that the crime wave 
 increased job-search activity\, consistent with heightened search effort i
 n the face of worsening local labor-market conditions. It also generated a
  spike in temporary separations from work. However\, despite concerns abou
 t the erosion of social capital in higher crime communities\, I find no ev
 idence of a short-term decline in job-finding through social networks.\n
