Abstract

Este artículo analiza las características del mercado ilegal de la producción de cultivos de coca desde la perspectiva de los traficantes. Se identifica que existe un incentivo para que el traficante aspire a tener pleno poder de mercado estableciendo monopsonios en sentido estricto. Se analizan dos casos particulares en ausencia de acción del Estado: en el primero, el traficante opera sin competencia; en el segundo, se presenta competencia entre dos traficantes. La posibilidad de uso indiscriminado de la fuerza hace que en los dos casos, el resultado sea el establecimiento de monopsonios. ***** This article analyzes the characteristics of the illegal market production of coca, This article analyses the characteristics of illegal coca production from a traffickers’ perspective. The dealers have an incentive to obtain full market power by establishing a strict monopsony. We analyse two particular cases in the absence of State action. In the first, the dealer operates without competition, and in the second there is competition between two traffickers. Due to the possibility of an indiscriminate use of force, in both cases the final result is that monopsonies are established.
