description Little is known about the relationship between illegal firms and local economic activity. In this paper I study changes in satellite night lights across Mexican municipalities after the arrival of large drug trafficking organizations in the period 2000–2010.

Estimated coefficients are precise, robust, and similar across different drug trafficking organizations.
