Ordnungspolitik auf illegalen Märkten: Der Drogen‐ und Waffenmarkt

Perspektiven der Wirtschaftspolitik, 2002, vol. 3, issue 1, 23-35

Abstract: In this paper, the economic structure of illegal markets with special reference to the markets for illegal drugs and arms is analyzed. Analytical tools of System Dynamics are employed to emphasize the dynamic aspects of these markets. The results of our analysis enable us to evaluate state intervention in the illegal markets for drugs and arms. It seems possible to mitigate the drugs problem by supplying drugs to heavily addicted people on the basis of health care measures. However, a similar policy seems not to exist for the illegal arms trade. This shows that each illegal market requires a deeper understanding before it can be fought effectively.
