本文估计方程可卡因和大麻的使用在1990- 1997年全国药物滥用家庭调查的成年人和青少年受访者在过去一年。与大多数以前的研究不同，我们控制了大麻的货币价格，因持有大麻和可卡因而被捕的概率，以及国家固定效应。结果表明，可卡因价格呈负相关，成人可卡因和大麻的需求，但不相关的青少年毒品需求，大麻价格的影响总是统计上不显著，估计价格的影响被夸大时，国家的影响被省略，并增加在每个逮捕概率减少两种类型的毒品使用。
This article estimates equations for past year cocaine and marijuana use among adult and juvenile respondents of the 1990-97 National Household Surveys on Drug Abuse. Unlike most previous studies, we control for the monetary price of marijuana, probabilities of arrest for marijuana and cocaine possession, and state fixed effects. Results indicate that cocaine prices are inversely related to adult cocaine and marijuana demand but are unrelated to juvenile drug demand, marijuana price effects are always statistically insignificant, estimated price effects are inflated when state effects are omitted, and increases in each arrest probability diminish both types of drug use.
