| Title | The Relationship Between Cannabis Legalization And U.S. Traffic Fatalities |
| Summary | This study expands on the current empirical literature on the relationship between recreational and medical cannabis legalization and traffic fatalities across states in the United States. The methodology used in this study is panel data regression with time and state fixed effects for 50 states from the years 2008 to 2020 with data from the United States Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The empirical findings of this study point to a negative relationship between the legalization of cannabis with traffic fatalities. However, the addition of the unemployment rate suggests an increase between all types of legalization and traffic fatalities. |
