Abstract:	本篇論文中，我研究墨西哥毒品戰爭期間暴力犯罪率增加，對男女就業決策之影響。我選擇使用MxFLS縱向調查，因為它與墨西哥毒品戰爭同時發生，並使用MxFLS資料以及單個固定效果模型。同時，我也兼顧個人和州際變數下，暴力就業決策的相關內生特性、時不變特性，以及未觀察到的特性。由實驗結果得知，暴力犯罪對就業決策的結果具影響甚重，但是，這種影響對於不同的人也有是不同的影響程度。暴力犯罪的增加並不會影響男性的就業決策；然而對於婦女而言，暴力減少了她們的工作可能性，並減少了她們工作的星期數和小時數。 This study examines the impact of an unexpected surge in violent crime on the labor behavior of women and men in the context of the Mexican drug war. I exploit the longitudinal nature of the MxFLS survey and its precise timing encircling the implementation of the Mexican drug war. By using the MxFLS information combined with an individual fixed-effects strategy, I consider potentially endogenous, time-invariant, unobserved characteristics of states and individuals that may be correlated with violence exposure and labor decisions. The results suggest that violent crime does have a powerful impact on the labor market outcomes, though this effect is different for distinct groups of the population. Although findings suggest that increases in violent crime do not change men`s labor decisions, for women, the Mexican drug war-related violence significantly decreases their probability of joining the labor market and reduces the number of weeks and hours they choose to work.
