Résumé :
Social cost studies are a useful tool for public authorities. They allow the ranking and prioritising of public policies. In the present case, the social cost of drugs measures the monetary resources expended by the various social agents as a consequence of the consumption, production and trafficking of illicit drugs.
The objective of this chapter is to describe the general methodology used to compute the social cost of drugs. It falls into three parts. Part one defines what a social cost study is, its usefulness and its composition, depending on the available methodologies. Part two explains how to compute the social cost of drugs according to the methodology chosen. The third part shows how the methodology was applied to French data for 2010 and the data sources used.
