Hi everyone, I am currently in the process of writing a research proposal. I was planning on researching illicit economies influence and affect on development, especially with emphasis on developing countries. As we all know, it is extremely difficult to obtain a substantial amount of data on anything to do with drug trafficking/human trafficking/etc., but I thought asking here would lead me in the right direction. Any sources, further research ideas, pretty much anything would help me out. I hope to be able to complete a regression of some sorts to explore and strengthen some of my research more. Thank you!
Good sources of data on the subject are:
- The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC).
- U.S. the Department of State

The US Department of State publishes "Trafficking in Persons Report", by tire for all countries in the world. It can be accessed online and it is suitable for a cross-sectional research. International health data on drug abuse can be also used to proxy drugs trade.
