| Abstract: | There is ambiguity in the empirical studies of crime economics on various income variables used to proxy the expected net gains from crime. As a result, the empirical findings are often mixed or contradictory. This note provides a theoretical argument that relates the net expected gains from crime to a measure of income inequality (the Gini coefficient) and the mean income of a society, thereby clarifying the ambiguity. |
