A Theoretical Perspective on Human Trafficking and Migration-Debt Contracts
构建了一个人口贩运与移民债务合同的经济模型,重点分析了超出初始合同价格的额外支付如何改变贩运者的排队顺序,并讨论了检验模型所需的数据类型及政策含义。
This article develops an economic model of human trafficking and migration-debt contracts. A key feature of the theoretical model is the payment of additional sums beyond the initial contracted price to alter the trafficker's queue order. These bribes are shown to be related to the level of effort applied by the trafficker. The types of data needed to rigorously test the model are discussed, together with policy implications.
