Crime and birth rate in Ukraine: modelling and statistical analysis by O. F. Shevchuk

“…Such atypical behaviour (compared to the previously identified general pattern) is explained by the systemic influence of a number of factors, among which the key ones are the hybrid military actions of the Russian Federation on the territory of Ukraine and the corresponding significant increase in migration processes due to the introduction of a visa-free regime with the EU countries. An attempt has been made to combine separate time periods with one regression equation by introducing additional indicator variables. …”
