Our goal in this paper is twofold: First, evaluate the impact on crime of the restriction of late-night alcohol sales in Bogotá; and second, quantify the causal effect of problematic alcohol consumption on different crime categories.

description |
Our goal in this paper is twofold: First, evaluate the impact on crime of the restriction of late-night alcohol sales in Bogotá; and second, quantify the causal effect of problematic alcohol consumption on different crime categories. Using a control group strategy, we explore time-series and cross-block variation in the restriction to measure its causal effects on several crime categories. We find that the restriction reduced deaths and injuries in car accidents and batteries, compatible with the pharmacological impact of alcohol consumption on crime (Goldstein, 1985). Our results are stronger in areas where the restriction was actually binding (e.g., in blocks with presence of liquor stores) and are highly heterogeneous depending on the number of liquor stores that were restricted at the block level. Finally, we measure the impact of the restriction on alcohol consumption (the first-stage, or mechanism), and quantify the causal pharmacological impact of alcohol consumption on crime using the restriction as an instrument for problematic alcohol consumption (the second stage). We find that alcohol consumption causes deaths and injuries in car accidents and batteries. More precisely, our results indicate that a one standard deviation (s.d.) increase in problematic alcohol consumption increases deaths in car accidents by 0.51 s.d., injuries in car accidents by 0.82 s.d., and batteries by 1.27 s.d. |

Primero, evaluar el impacto de las restricciones a las ventas de alcohol sobre el crimen en Bogotá; y, segundo, cuantificar el efecto causal del consumo problemático de alcohol sobre diferentes tipos de crimen. Para esto, utilizamos una estrategia no experimental que explota la variación en las series de tiempo y en el corte trasversal de la restricción a las ventas de alcohol. Nuestros resultados indican que la restricción redujo las muertes y lesiones en accidentes de tránsito y las riñas, lo cual es consistente con el canal farmacológico a través del cual el consumo problemático de alcohol afecta el crimen (Goldstein, 1985). Nuestros resultados son más fuertes en aquellos sitios donde la restricción fue más intensa (i.e., en áreas de la ciudad con una mayor densidad de establecimientos restringidos), y son altamente heterogéneos dependiendo del número de licoreras y tiendas restringidas a nivel de manzanas. Nuestra estrategia de identificación nos permite medir el efecto de la restricción sobre el consumo problemático de alcohol (la primera etapa, o mecanismo) y cuantificar el efecto farmacológico del consumo problemático de alcohol sobre el crimen (la segunda etapa). De acuerdo con nuestros resultados, un aumento de 1 desviación estándar (d.e.) en el consumo problemático de alcohol causa un aumento de 0.51 d.e. en las muertes en accidentes de tránsito, de 0.82 d.e. en las lesiones en accidentes de tránsito, y de 1.27 d.e. en el número de riñas.34 páginasapplication/pdfengUniversidad de los Andes, Facultad de Economía, CEDEDocumentos CEDE No. 20 Marzo de 2013https://ideas.repec.org/p/col/000089/010629.htmlThe pharmacological channel revisited : alcohol sales restrictions and crime in BogotáRestricciones a las ventas de alcohol y crimen en Bogotá : los efectos a través del canal farmacológicoDocumento de trabajoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/workingPaperhttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_8042http://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85Texthttps://purl.org/redcol/resource_type/WPAlcohol restrictionsCrimePharmacological channelCrimen - Investigaciones - Bogotá (Colombia)Alcoholismo y crimen - Investigaciones - Bogotá (Colombia)Alcohol - Comercialización - Investigaciones - Bogotá (Colombia)C2, C54, D04Facultad de EconomíaPublicationTEXTdcede2013-20.pdf.txtdcede2013-20.pdf.txtExtracted texttext/plain78104https://repositorio.uniandes.edu.co/bitstreams/3c39419c-a0a9-40f0-abe4-ac0bde2fc4f2/download4b4bb46415ec64d546b0c26e6bbf7404MD54ORIGINALdcede2013-20.pdfdcede2013-20.pdfapplication/pdf1026644https://repositorio.uniandes.edu.co/bitstreams/e99ef36c-2c72-41d7-b2b5-d020c2a4c8f8/downloada531fba925958f399d4405587dce9ff0MD51THUMBNAILdcede2013-20.pdf.jpgdcede2013-20.pdf.jpgIM Thumbnailimage/jpeg32534https://repositorio.uniandes.edu.co/bitstreams/c03526e8-0f60-4f50-b1f7-d90714330f74/download39ec690ea5898592d9b33f060eace5a7MD551992/8389oai:repositorio.uniandes.edu.co:1992/83892024-06-04 15:41:44.924http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/open.accesshttps://repositorio.uniandes.edu.coRepositorio institucional Sénecaadminrepositorio@uniandes.edu.co |
