1/ We study the determinants of contemporary forced migrant labor, a phenomenon on the rise in developed, migrant destination countries. Migrants are smuggled and work under threat in conditions close to slavery. This phenomenon affects 27 million people worldwide (ILO, 2020).

Migrants are most often victims of violence, rather than perpetrators. Great paper by @briangknight and @atribinu .

2/ Studies have examined the economic causes of historical coercive labor institutions. We explore the political determinants of contemporary forced migrant labor. Our argument: ideology plays a crucial role in explaining forced labor.

4/ We thus leverage a historical shock – the Fascist bonifica project in Italy – which persistently increased support for fascist ideology in exposed areas, and study its impact on modern labor racketeering (caporalato).

1/ First, the magnitude of the problem: modern criminal organizations extract enormous profits from public contracts and subsidies. In the EU, 300 to 900 million is lost to criminals every year. States involuntarily finance organized crime, while losing an opportunity for growth.

2/ In 2013, Italy enforced a policy screening firms applying for +150,000€ in public subsidies for connections with organized crime. We collect data on all subsidies and firms during 8 years to study how firms' behavior changed around this threshold after law enforcement.

9/ But the immediate strategic reaction of organized crime indicates that states need to anticipate the sophistication of these groups and design policies which cannot be easily gamed by displacing criminal activity where it is not observed.

3/ An ideology emphasizing the subjugation of people of color can create a political environment conducive to violating rules against forced labor of colored migrants. But establishing this causally is complex: racism can emerge opportunistically when exploitation is convenient.

6/ We also leverage the Arab Spring migration shock in a triple DDD to show that the same areas experience even more labor racketeering after an increase in the supply of potential victims, in line with a demand-driven causal path (via ideology) to forced labor.

7/ Is this really about ideology? Our evidence indicates so: areas exposed to the Fascist project have voted more for neo-Fascist parties in all elections since WWII, they exhibit hostility towards migrants in both attitudes and behaviors, ...

4/ Firms sorting display worse performance (delays and finding private co-financing); they tend to be created right before applying for subsidies (ad-hoc for getting the money), have lower bank debts (in line with money-laundering) and BoD members from mafia areas.

9/ Our study sheds light on the demand-side ideological determinants of modern forced labor in developed countries. We show that forced labor has political causes and highlight the connection between far-right ideology and the exploitation of migrants.

6/ We provide suggestive evidence that once the law is enforced an alternative strategy emerges to circumvent police controls: registering the company to trusted figureheads, people who have never been convicted of mafia-related or any other crimes.

7/ Finally, a back of the envelope calculation suggests that not only this policy is cost-effective (the money lost by mafia due to applying for lower funds is >> than the costs to enforce the law), but that it would be effective even if the threshold was substantially lower.

5/ We can exclude that sorting is driven by firms’ desire to avoid bureaucratic costs (no additional document is required), delays (the application moves on independently on the investigations) or prosecution for other crimes (other crimes, like tax evasion, are not investigated)
