    We provide new evidence about the mechanisms linking resource-related income shocks to conflict. To do so, we combine temporal variation in international drug prices with new data on spatial variation in opium suitability to examine the effect of opium profitability on conflict in Afghanistan. District level results indicate a conflict-reducing effect over the 2002-2014 period, both in a reduced-form setting and with three different instrumental variables. We provide evidence for two main mechanisms. First, the importance of contest effects depends on the degree of violent group competition over valuable resources. By using data on the drug production process, ethnic homelands, and Taliban versus pro-government influence, we show that on average group competition for suitable districts is relatively low in Afghanistan. Second, we highlight the role of opportunity costs by showing that opium profitability positively affects household living standards, and becomes more important after a sudden rise in unemployment due to the dissolution of large armed militias after an exogenous policy change.

    "Boire de l’alcool, avoir des relations sexuelles extra-conjugales, fumer du Kif, mettre en scène son corps dansant, se prostituer, écrire ou chanter des textes contraires aux pratiques, avoir des relations homosexuelles…la question de la transgression est très présente dans les sociétés musulmanes d’Afrique du Nord, et interroge leurs rapports aux pouvoirs religieux et politique. Cet ouvrage s’intéresse non pas à la façon dont ces derniers façonnent les sociétés, mais à la manière dont une partie du corps social s’arrange avec le Coran et le système politique. Il décrit comment certains groupes se constituent contre les autorités religieuses et/ou politiques, sans néanmoins les affronter directement, sans les remettre en question, ni rendre publique leurs comportements et leurs actions. Il permet ainsi de mettre en lumière l’indicible et de présenter ces sociétés sous un jour nouveau, en décrivant les mécanismes de prises de distance par rapport aux normes et de construction d’univers sociaux originaux, grâce à la mise en place de stratégies et de modes d’actions partagés, telles que la non monstration des actes transgressifs ou l’utilisation d’espaces spécifiques. Cet ouvrage vise donc à aborder la dynamique des sociétés musulmanes d’Afrique du Nord en privilégiant leurs dysfonctionnements pour mieux comprendre leur fonctionnement. Il permet de remettre en cause l’image de sociétés « soumises », véhiculée par le sens commun et par certains médias occidentaux."

    While under communism the identity-providing religion was suppressed, religiosity is strong today even among the youth in post-communist countries. This provides an appropriate background to investigate how external and internal religiosity relates to risky behaviors like smoking, drinking, and drugs among the young. This study shows that not religion as such or internal religiosity, but largely observable (external) religiosity prevents them from wallowing in those vices. While this is found strongly for both males and females, those females doubting or reflecting religion show a somewhat smaller risky activity.

    We provide evidence about the mechanisms linking resource-related income shocks to conflict. Combining temporal variation in international drug prices with spatial variation in the suitability to produce opium, we show that higher drug prices reduce conflict over the 2002-2014 period in Afghanistan. There are two main mechanisms. First, household living standards and thus the opportunity costs of fighting increase. Second, we hypothesize that the opportunity cost effects dominate contest effects if the degree of group competition over valuable resources is sufficiently small. Regressions using georeferenced data on drug production, ethnic homelands, and Taliban versus pro-government influence support this hypothesis.

    We investigate the effect of variations in the price of opium in Afghanistan on per capita dispensation of prescription opioids in the US. Quarterly county-level data for 2003-2016 indicate that reductions in opium prices significantly increase the quantity of opioids prescribed. The increase involves natural and semi-synthetic but not fully synthetics opioids, therefore suggesting that the effect is moderated by the amount of opium contained in the products. While this evidence could suggest a pass-through of lower production costs to retail prices, boosting patients' demand for opioids, we fail to detect significant effects of changes in retail prices on per capita dispensation. Moreover, firm-level analysis reveals that advertising expenses of opioid producers increase following opium price declines and so do their stock prices and profits. Overall, our findings suggest that supply-side economic incentives might have played an important role in the opioid epidemic.

    Labor market policy tools such as training and sanctions are commonly used to help bring workers back to work. By analogy to medical treatments, the individual exposure to these tools may have side effects. We study effects on health using individual-level population registers on labor market events outcomes, drug prescriptions and sickness absence, comparing outcomes before and after exposure to training and sanctions. We find that training improves cardiovascular and mental health and lowers sickness absence. The results suggest that this is not due to improved employment prospects but rather to instantaneous features of participation such as, perhaps, the adoption of a more rigorous daily routine. Unemployment benefits sanctions cause a short-run deterioration of mental health, possibly due higher stress levels, but this tapers out quickly.

    The Dark Web has changed the way drugs are traded globally by shifting trade away from the streets and onto the web. In this paper, I study whether the Dark Web has an impact on street crime, a common side effect of traditional drug trade. To identify a causal effect, I use daily data from the US and exploit unexpected shutdowns of large online drug trading platforms. In a regression discontinuity design, I compare crime rates in days after the shutdowns to those immediately preceding them. I find that shutting down Dark Web markets leads to a significant increase in drug trade in the streets. However, the effect is short-lived. In the days immediately following shutdowns, drug-related crimes increase by five to almost ten percent but revert to pre-shutdown levels within ten days. I find no impact of shutdowns of Dark Web marketplaces on thefts, assaults, homicides and prostitution.

    Within the framework of the global prohibitionist policy, the Bolivian State has stood out for challenging orthodoxy and calling for innovative policies in defense of the coca leaf and the rights of the coca-growing population. In particular, the Cato Agreement that was opened between the Bolivian State and the cocaleros in 2004 to authorize legal family plots for coca cultivation and the social control system for its monitoring is highlighted. Based on secondary information and interviews carried out in the Cochabamba Tropics with members of unions and other relevant actors, it is found that the main effects of this system are the reduction of conflicts and violent confrontations, the reduction of human rights violations by part of the public forces and the consensual rationalization of coca crops. Although this system of social control of coca stands out for deviating from the traditional strategies of substitution and eradication, it has some limitations in its scope: there has been little industrialization of the coca leaf for the alternative market, the control of the Coca leaf supply has been moderate -although Bolivia has been the country that has maintained the most stable number of hectares in the Andean region- and some peasant associations have been affected by the limited number of plots authorized for legal cultivation. However, the Bolivian experience with the social control of coca leaves several replicable lessons for the countries of the Andean region because it has traced a path towards the decriminalization of productive activities with the coca leaf. This document prepares lessons for Colombia based on the social control system to reduce conflict, promote peace in the coca-growing territories and, identify, generate legitimacy in the coca-growing activity. Drug policy in Bolivia has allowed the legalization of coca growing areas and could well suspect how a transition mechanism regulates the coca economy.

    We provide evidence on the mechanisms linking resource-related income shocks to conflict, focusing specifically on illegal crops. We hypothesize that the degree of group competition over resources and the extent of law enforcement explain whether opportunity cost or contest effects dominate. Combining temporal variation in international drug prices with spatial variation in the suitability to produce opium, we show that in Afghanistan higher prices increase household living standards, and reduce conflict. Using georeferenced data on the drug production network and Taliban versus pro-government control highlights the importance of opportunity cost effects, and reveals heterogeneous effects in line with our theory.

    Mozambique is a significant heroin transit centre and the trade has increased to 40 tonnes or more per year, making it a major export which contributes up to $100 mn per year to the local economy. For 25 years the trade has been controlled by a few local trading families and tightly regulated by senior official of Frelimo, the ruling party, and has been largely ignored by the international community which wanted to see Mozambique as a model pupil. But the position is changing and Mozambique may be coming under more donor pressure. Meanwhile the global move toward the gig economy and the broader corruption of Mozambican police and civil service makes it easier to organise alternative channels, with local people hired by mobile telephone for specific tasks. Mozambique is part of a complex chain which forms the east African heroin network. Heroin goes from Afghanistan to the Makran coast of Pakistan, and is taken by dhow to northern Mozambique. There, the Mozambican traffickers take it off the dhows and move it more than 3000 km by road to Johannesburg, and from there others ship it to Europe.
