In wooldridge: 115 Data Sets from "Introductory Econometrics: A Modern Approach, 7e" by Jeffrey M. Wooldridge

campus

Description

Wooldridge Source: These data were collected by Daniel Martin, a former MSU undergraduate, for a final project. They come from the FBI Uniform Crime Reports and are for the year 1992. Data loads lazily.

Usage

data('campus')

Format

A data.frame with 97 observations on 7 variables:

• enroll: total enrollment

• priv: =1 if private college

• police: employed officers

• crime: total campus crimes

• lcrime: log(crime)

• lenroll: log(enroll)

• lpolice: log(police)

Notes

Colleges and universities are now required to provide much better, more detailed crime data. A very rich data set can now be obtained, even a panel data set for colleges across different years. Statistics on male/female ratios, fraction of men/women in fraternities or sororities, policy variables – such as a “safe house” for women on campus, as was started at MSU in 1994 – could be added as explanatory variables. The crime rate in the host town would be a good control.
