May God's blessing be upon you. This website has my musings about Catholicism, Economics and my interests in general. I am a PhD economist with varied interests. Below is the research I did for the DEA through a chip in my brain that officers put there in 2009 when I was involved with some things I should have been at the University of Alabama. I will be posting my model for forecasting cocaine trafficking seizures shortly, it is extremely accurate and is what got the ball rolling on all this research that turned into a nightmare dealing with the feds. I don't know I would think you would need a warrant to enter someone's property and destroy their printer and computer but I digress I have had a lot to deal with over the past few months with the G-men. Anyway I am officially resigning from academia and going to mine coal for a minute and hopefully pursue putting a farm together. I highly suggest anyone interested in doing illegal drug research not do it as it attracts unwelcomed attention from the federal government. I still plan on continuing my research on spatial temporal modeling of crime data here where I am currently located as soon as I get my state ID switched over and file for the data provided I have the energy after leaving the mine. I also put in a new FOIA for Cocaine Trafficking Arrests from the FBI. No word yet on the data. God bless. I got the cocaine trafficking var together and improved the out of sample forecast MAPE to under 6 for a year out, so suck it. I'm publishing it.
