The Welfare Effects of Civil Forfeiture

Using a laboratory experiment we explore competing claims of social welfare for civil forfeiture. Experiment participants are tasked with making trade-offs in allocating resources “to fight crime” with and without the ability to seize and forfeit assets. Our goal is to assess whether the societal impact of reducing crime is greater in a world with or without civil forfeiture.
