Regulatory options for the market of designer drugs
Turek, Tomáš ; Běláčková, Vendula (advisor) ; Chytilová, Helena (referee)
This paper describes an analyses the market of "legal" drugs, so called designer drugs, which emerged in Czech republic by the end of 2010, in other European countries about a year earlier. It applies known theoretical arguments concerning state regulation of drug markets to the market of new drugs and uses them to compare different possible policies. Theoretical findings and microeconomic concepts are then confronted with the reality of the market of new drugs, including valuable data collected in own street survey and by monitoring now defunct internet phora of drug users. It is concluded that repressive attitude towards regulation of new drugs is sustainable only for the price of high societal cost and significant restriction of civil rights. Reducing the demand for drugs seems to be the only viable means of reducing their consumption in an open market economy with liberal democratic system.
Ekonomická analýza drogových trhů
Běláčková, Vendula ; Dostálová, Jiřina (advisor) ; Stieber, Michal (referee)
Práce se zabývá ekonomickou teorií, výzkumem a ekonometrickými modely v oblasti nabídkové strany drogových trhů. Meta-analýza literatury ukazuje na základní východiska ekonomické teorie, které se v drogových trzích uplatňují, stejně jako na ekonomické teorie, které se k drogovým trhům explicitně vztahují. V oblasti empirického výzkumu rozděluje drogové trhy na primární, které jsou určeny zemědělskou produkcí surovin na výrobu nelegálních drog v rozvojových zemích, a na koncové, na kterých se v západním světě nelegální drogy z různých oblastí světa střetávají. Třetí rovinou výzkumných prací jsou modely drogových trhů, které pracují s minimálními daty a které poskytují predikce pro drogové politiky. Práce přináší základní doporučení pro výzkum drogových trhů, zarámované do metodologie ekonomické vědy, kontextu dostupných dat, základních výzkumných otázek a možností primárního výzkumu.
