A system description of the cocaine trade

A comprehensive accounting framework for estimating the quantities and flows of drugs would go a long way in providing such an understanding. To this end, RAND has developed-and this report documents-a computer spreadsheet- based 'system description' for the cocaine trade. This system description serves as a database and an analytical tool. It consists of four interrelated spreadsheets-a database and three others that mirror the general pattern of the heroin trade: production, transportation, and U.S. distribution. The database provides primarily production-related data from 1985 through 1991. This report also provides detailed information on how to use the model. The spreadsheets are available for either IMB (DOS) or Apple-based machines upon request to RAND.

  • "Gaps and inconsistencies in the picture of the cocaine trade increase the difficulty of making good choices about resource allocation and drug-fighting strategies. They also make it more difficult to evaluate the effectiveness of existing policies. This report documents a computer spreadsheet-based "systems description" for the cocaine trade that is a combination of database and analytical tool. Its structure allows users to substitute their own data or assumptions about parameters while preserving consistency or "conservation of mass" throughout the system. Three systems spreadsheets mirror the general pattern of the cocaine trade: production, international transportation, and U.S. distribution. In addition, a longitudinal database provides primarily production-related data from 1984 through 1990."@en
