By means of an OLS regression model, we find that foreigners act independently in regions with bigger migrant network and low criminal market concentration. Cooperation is again negatively affected by market concentration and appears to positively related to the ratio of immigrant population. A variety of checks show the robustness of our outcome.engOrganized crimemaster thesis201716127
