Adam Soliman is an Assistant Professor in the John E. Walker Department of Economics at Clemson University's College of Business. His research focuses on the intersection of economics, crime, and public policy, with particular expertise in drug policy, policing behavior, and enforcement strategies. Dr. Soliman's research interests center on understanding the economic incentives behind criminal behavior and law enforcement responses. His work examines how changes in punishment severity affect police behavior, with a particular focus on drug policy reforms. He investigates whether police treat enforcement effort and punishment severity as complements or substitutes, challenging conventional 'War on Drugs' approaches. His research combines economic theory with empirical analysis of geocoded crime data to provide evidence-based insights into criminal justice policy. His publication record demonstrates significant contributions to understanding drug markets, opioid epidemics, and policing strategies. His work shows that weakening drug sale penalties leads to decreased drug arrests without displacement to non-drug offenses, suggesting police treat enforcement and punishment as complements. His research indicates that certain enforcement reductions may not incur large public safety costs, challenging traditional deterrence models. As an active researcher in criminology and public policy, Dr. Soliman collaborates with scholars from various institutions including University of Colorado, University of Pittsburgh, and Duke University. His work appears in working paper series such as the Economic Research Initiatives at Duke (ERID) and has been cited in related fields including public economics, criminology, and urban studies.
