Co-benefits of Substance Abuse Regulation on Temperature and Violent Crime 1: ifo Institute, LMU Munich, CMCC Foundation; 2: Harvard University Higher temperatures can increase substance abuse and physiologically exacerbate its effects on human body, increasing risks of impaired cognitive functions and violent behavior. Using administrative crime data and daily temperatures in the U.S. between 1991 and 2023, we show that two public policies regulating substance abuse, the opening of substance abuse treatment facilities and the reformulation of the prescription opioid OxyContin, substantially moderate the impact of temperature on interpersonal violent crimes. We monetize the ancillary policy benefits for intimate partner violence, the most widespread crime in the U.S., and show that regulations targeting substance abuse can be a cost-effective tool for climate adaptation. | |
