Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis analyzes the effect of uncertainty on illegal transactions. The major results of the existing literature are reexamined with regards to trade tax revenues and the social welfare effects of smuggling. New insight is gained on the theoretical implications of smuggling by analyzing how the behavior of smuggling firms is affected by the uncertainty associated with illegal trade. Firm behavior with a risk attached to illegal trade has an impact on how government enforcement affects trade tax revenues and social welfare. This thesis is in three essays. In the first essay agents have a choice of either being involved in legal trade or illegal trade. Illegal trade has a risk attached to it, with the magnitude of risk being dependent on the level of government enforcement. The risk factor allows, as a general result, the coexistence of legal and illegal trade with price disparity. The essay's main focus is on the welfare effect of smuggling, and it concludes that contrary to earlier research on illegal trade, the presence of illegal trade, even with a real resource cost associated with it, is beneficial to social welfare. This result is dependent on the attitude of exporting firms towards the risk associated with smuggling. In the second essay, the government is modeled as a profit maximizing agent. We demonstrate that over-enforcement of the trade tax laws is detrimental to revenue collection and not a socially optimal policy solution to smuggling. The third essay is a theoretical discussion of how to empirically test and compare the economic impact of smuggling on Indonesian domestic wholesale prices before and after the Indonesian trade liberalization efforts of 1985-86. The theoretical results from the first two essays suggest that trade liberalization should reduce the economic impact of smuggling by reducing the incentive to smuggle.

Download or read book Transnational Threats written by Kimberley L. Thachuk and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2007-05-30 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays demonstrates how the security of Americans is potentially threatened by individuals and governments who are engaged in the illicit trade in arms, drugs, and human beings in distant parts of the globe. More than just a threat to Americans, the essays underscore that these activities are often detrimental to the United States interests around the world due to the destabilizing impact that each activity can have on a nation or region. More revealing is how terrorists benefit from this illegal trade, generating critical sources of funding used for everything from recruiting to procurement of weapons and explosives of all types to extend and expand the scope of their struggle. The scope of this work is truly global. Fourteen essays touch on prevailing problems from the Balkans to Southeast Asia and the Pacific; from Africa to the Caribbean, and more. In each essay, the authors explore a problem that not only has direct regional repercussions, but larger international ones as well. The essays present problems that result from these illegal activities as a global epidemic, not simply regionalized problems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Smuggling along the Chinese coast has been a thorn in the side of many regimes. From opium and weapons concealed aboard foreign steamships in the Qing dynasty to nylon stockings and wristwatches trafficked in the People’s Republic, contests between state and smuggler have exerted a surprising but crucial influence on the political economy of modern China. Seeking to consolidate domestic authority and confront foreign challenges, states introduced tighter regulations, higher taxes, and harsher enforcement. These interventions sparked widespread defiance, triggering further coercive measures. Smuggling simultaneously threatened the state’s power while inviting repression that strengthened its authority. Philip Thai chronicles the vicissitudes of smuggling in modern China—its practice, suppression, and significance—to demonstrate the intimate link between illicit coastal trade and the amplification of state power. China’s War on Smuggling shows that the fight against smuggling was not a simple law enforcement problem but rather an impetus to centralize authority and expand economic controls. The smuggling epidemic gave Chinese states pretext to define legal and illegal behavior, and the resulting constraints on consumption and movement remade everyday life for individuals, merchants, and communities. Drawing from varied sources such as legal cases, customs records, and popular press reports and including diverse perspectives from political leaders, frontline enforcers, organized traffickers, and petty runners, Thai uncovers how different regimes policed maritime trade and the unintended consequences their campaigns unleashed. China’s War on Smuggling traces how defiance and repression redefined state power, offering new insights into modern Chinese social, legal, and economic history.

Download or read book Tribute Trade and Smuggling written by Angela Schottenhammer and published by Harrassowitz. This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Officially, relations between a so-called empire like China and her neighboring countries were frequently designated as tribute relations. In reality, however, much of the commercial, scientific and human intercourse that was going on not only in Asia but in the middle period and early modern world in general followed illegal or private paths and channels. Commodities, products, knowledge or human beings entered or left a country - or simply crossed borders - without the explicit permission or approval of a government or an official institution. This bilingual volume with English and Spanish essays investigates networks of unofficial, private or illegal commercial exchange activities and knowledge transfer, including the trafficking of people as well as human interaction that took place behind the official curtain of tribute and trade. The geographical focus definitely lies on East Asia, and almost every contribution at least relates to this macro-region. But it also introduces comparative examples from the Indian Ocean, the Asia-Pacific and the Atlantic and adjacent countries.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Smuggling in the American Colonies at the Outbreak of the Revolution: With Special Reference to the West Indies Trade The endeavor has been made to eliminate from this essay the many features of the British colonial and commercial systems which do not have a very direct bearing on the question of smuggling, but it has seemed necessary to show cause why many of these features are without special significance in a discussion of the economic and govern mental questions which arise No attempt has been made to assign any comparative rating to the influence which smuggling may have had among the forces which resulted in the Revolution. Due reference has been made in the foot notes to the source material and secondary authorities consulted, while, for convenience, a complete list of such works has been ap pended. The writer is greatly indebted to Assistant Professor David Taggart Clark of Williams College for assistance in the prepar ation of the manuscript for publication.
