This paper presents and estimates a dynamic economic model of criminal involvement. The paper's main goal is to determine the extent to which market incentives, as distinct from background and other constraints, influence the dynamics of criminal careers. It is argued that career profile choices and desistance decisions depend critically upon general and math-specific factors affecting the life-cycle pattern of net legal and illegal rewards. An analysis of individual data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth supports that expectation.
