“…Endogenizing the formation of gangs in a criminal market, we argue that an increase in deterrence can make the market more competitive and can lead to a higher output and lower prices. Lee (1993) and Poret (2003) confirm the fact that in the United States, arrests and penalties for heroin and cocaine (including crack) drug violations rose significantly during the last twenty years. The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) saw its budget increase from 0.07 billion US$ to 1.55 billion US$ between 1973 and 2000, while the number of its special agents went from 1,470 to 4,561 over the same period.…”

“…Caulkins (1993) highlights the fact that zero-tolerance policies reduce marginal deterrence and can lead to an overall increase in drug consumption, but again this article restricts its attention solely to the quantity-related part of the puzzle. Poret (2003) shows that such a counterintuitive outcome can be replicated in a model with wholesalers (traffickers) and resellers when enforcement is focused on the wholesaler.…”

“…Por otra parte, en algunos trabajos en el campo más específico de la teoría económica de los bienes ilegales se han construido modelos formales de los mercados de bienes ilegales, en donde se analiza la incidencia de las transformaciones en las estructuras de mercado en el contexto de mercados oligopólicos (Poret y Téjédo, 2006), los cambios en el tamaño del mercado en el contexto de mercados de competencia monopolística (Costa Storti y De Grauwe, 2008) o de las redes de distribución de drogas y la estructura vertical de la cadena productiva de las actividades ilegales (Poret, 2002). Pero ninguno de estos trabajos ha desarrollo un modelo formal del mercado de drogas ilegales en el que, aparte de la modelación tradicional de los productores y demandantes en el contexto de una estructura de mercado particular, se incorpore el análisis de la incidencia de las redes criminales que soportan el funcionamiento de esta clase de mercados, utilizando la teoría de redes sociales.…”
