    Economic theory perceives crime as a rational choice of the individual, after comparing the expected net benefit from her legal and illegal labor market opportunities. These opportunities depend on a number of individual, sectoral, regional and country level characteristics and can be altered by various exogenous shocks such as an immigration influx, changes in the labor market policies, the economic conditions, the deterrence/incapacitation policies and more. This thesis contributes to the literature both theoretically and empirically focusing on the case of Greece. While facing the worst economic recession in recent memory, Greece has also lately become the main entry and transit for hundreds of thousands of immigrants from neighboring countries. These events have had a tremendous effect on all the major socio-economic and demographic factors that, according to the economic theory, may have a causal effect on crime rates. Furthermore, the country reveals a unique pattern in property crime rates in south Europe, with two peaks during the debt crisis. Chapter 1 serves as an introduction and a roadmap to this thesis.In chapter 2, I analyze the socioeconomic and demographic determinants of property crime in Greece provinces during the period 2004-2016. I assemble a dataset based on reported crime rates and on residence permits data. After having established a significant positive impact of immigration on the overall property crime rates, chapter 3 focuses on further examining the immigration-crime nexus across Greek regions during the period 2008-2016. After controlling for endogeneity, the effect becomes negative and insignificant. Lastly, in chapter 4, I employ a search and matching model with two sectors, a formal and an informal one, and undocumented immigration. I study the effects of various labor market and immigration policies on the relative size of the informal sector.
