This dissertation investigates modern slavery: Essay 1 presents a theoretical matching
model of forced labor. It addresses how oppressors recruit their victims and how certain
mechanisms affect the extent of exploitation. Essay 2 presents a theoretical model
where slaveholders can buy protection from punishment by bribing corrupt inspectors.
Bribery is modelled via Nash bargaining. Multiple equilibria and hysteresis are possible.
Essay 3 studies empirically how political decision-making, institutional environment
and exploitation are interlinked by creating a novel dataset.
