“…In this case, the direct effect We acknowledge that huachicoleo (gasoline siphoning) became a more frequent practice after the period we analyze, more precisely during the Peña Nieto administration. This more frequent practice could have produced effects on violence such as those found by López Cruz and Torrens (2023) (for instance, attracting more DTOs). We also acknowledge that the use of the locality as the unit of analysis might underestimate the effect of the distances to highways given that a small locality may only be related to a smaller sector of the highway.…”
