RT Book T1 Economics and marijuana: consumption, pricing and legalisation A1 Clements, Kenneth W. 1950- A2 Zhao, Xueyan 1971- LA English PP Cambridge u.a. PB Cambridge Univ. Press YR 2009 UL https://krimdok.uni-tuebingen.de/Record/1603533303 AB "Do marijuana users cut back on consumption when the price rises? To what degree is marijuana consumption related to drinking and tobacco usage? What would happen if marijuana were legalised and taxed in the same way as alcohol and tobacco? Is marijuana priced in a similar way to other goods? Economics and Marijuana deals with these and other questions by drawing on a rich set of data concerning the consumption and pricing of marijuana in Australia, a country where the drug has been decriminalised in some, but not all, states. The book applies the economic approach to drugs to analyse consumption, pricing and the economics of legalising the use of marijuana. The result is a fascinating analysis of this widely used, but little understood illicit drug that provides much needed information and policy advice for a wide range of readers, including economists, policy makers and health professionals"--Provided by publisher NO Literaturangaben CN HD9019.M382 SN 9781107421479 SN 9780521884952 K1 Droge K1 Drogenkonsum K1 Preis K1 Drogenpolitik K1 Australien K1 Marijuana : Economic aspects : Australia K1 Marijuana : Economic aspects K1 Marijuana industry : Australia K1 Marijuana industry K1 Marihuana K1 Wirtschaft K1 Australien : Drogenhandel : Marihuana K1 Australien : Drogenkonsum : Marihuana K1 Australien : Drogenpolitik : Marihuana K1 Australien : Marihuana : Drogenkonsum : Entkriminalisierung : Marktentwicklung K1 Australien : Marihuana : Wirtschaft
