Illegal Drugs and Public Corruption: Crack Based Evidence from California

Abstract: Do illegal drugs foster public corruption? To estimate the causal e¤ect of drugs on public corruption in California, we adopt the synthetic control method and exploit the fact that crack cocaine markets emerged asynchronously across the United States. We focus on California because crack arrived here in 1981, before reaching any other state. Our results show that public corruption more than tripled in California in the …rst three years following the arrival of crack cocaine. We argue that this resulted from th… Show more

“…At the moment, considerable efforts are invested in the development of sustainable nanosystems as front-end technology for MS [85]. Likewise, in the framework of the Community Research and Development Information Service (CORDIS) of the European Commission, there is a project funded by the EU's framework programs for research and innovation of the rapid screening and identification of illegal drugs by IR absorption spectroscopy and gas chromatography as well as an initiative to redefine MS into a breakthrough platform for real-time noninvasive breath analysis with single ion detection of intact viruses and bacteria and post-analysis molecular characterization, so Ms has a future as a sustainable method of the tomorrow [86][87][88].…”
