摘要

黑人和白人在毒品逮捕率和监禁率上有很大的不同。然而，两组的药物使用率是相似的(而且一直如此)。这项研究估计了因毒品指控而被捕的黑人随着时间的推移而失去的生产力。在其他条件不变的情况下，如果吸毒者在被捕和监禁时是白人，而不是黑人，那么他们一生中额外的生产力水平会是多少?在这项研究中，我估计从1980年到2018年(以2019年美元计算)，这种生产力损失将达到530亿至2200亿美元，这表明卢卡斯楔子对于种族毒品逮捕来说是巨大的。

Racially Charged Police Enforcement Has Cost the U.S. Economy $53 Billion to $220 Billion in Lost Productivity

There is a major difference in the drug arrest rate and incarceration rates between Black and White individuals. However, the drug use rate across the two groups is similar (and has been over time). This study estimates the lost productivity over time of people arrested on drug charges because they are Black. Ceteris Paribus, if those using the drugs were White, instead of Black, at the point of arrest and incarceration, what would have been their additional productivity levels over their lives? In this study I estimate this lost productivity to be $53 billion to $220 billion from 1980–2018 (in 2019-dollars), suggesting that the Lucas wedge is substantial for racial drug arrests.
