性工作者利用互联网技术进行拉客引发了重要的法律和监管问题。我们描述了促进网上卖淫的新机构及其潜在的市场影响。然后，我们就政策制定者感兴趣的几个关键参数提供一些初步证据。首先，我们发现，在线拉客很大程度上代表了整个卖淫市场的增长，而不是线下、街头市场的简单取代，尽管我们发现 30 多岁和 40 多岁的性工作者中存在相当大的取代效应。通过一项新实施的调查，我们还发现，大多数在线招揽性工作者的行为风险低于传统的街头工作者：然而，接近户外工作迁移边缘的工作者在进入非街头行业时会带来风险更高的商业和性行为。 (C) 2010 Elsevier Inc. 保留所有权利。
The use of Internet technology for solicitation by sex workers has raised important legal and regulatory questions. We provide a description of the new institutions that facilitate prostitution online, and their potential market effects. We then supply some of the first evidence on several key parameters of interest to policymakers. First, we find that workers who solicit online largely represent growth in the overall prostitution market, as opposed to simple displacement of the off-line, street-focused market, although we find sizeable displacement effects among sex workers in their 30s and 40s. Using a newly-implemented survey, we also find that most sex workers who solicit online engage in lower-risk behaviors than traditional street-based workers: however, workers close to the margin for migration from outdoor work bring riskier business and sexual practices with them as they enter the off-street-sector.
