Abstract:

This paper uses a dataset collected among inhabitants of Amsterdam, to study
the employment effects of the use of cannabis and cocaine. For females no
negative effects of drug use on the employment rate are found. For males
there is a negative relationship between past cannabis and cocaine use and
employment. However, this relationship has to do with correlation through
unobserved personal characteristics and not with causality.
