Tackling Money Laundering
After an Introduction by Brigitte Unger "Money Laundering - A Newly Emerging Topic on the International Agenda" http://www.bepress.com/rle/vol5/iss2/art1/ the first three papers deal with new ways of measuring money laundering.
John Walker and Brigitte Unger "Measuring Global Money Laundering: The Walker Gravity Model" use and discuss a gravity model
http://www.bepress.com/rle/vol5/iss2/art2/
John S.Zdanowicz "Trade-Based Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing" uses unusual transactions for measuring money laundering through exports and imports http://www.bepress.com/rle/vol5/iss2/art3/
Michele Bagella, Francesco Busato and Amadeo Argentiero Money Laundering in a Microfounded Dynamic Model: Simulations for the U.S. and the EU-15 Economies use a macroeconomic dynamic equilibrium model to simulate money laundering in the EU and the US

The last three papers are on regulation and anti money laundering policy.
Joras Ferwerda "The Economics of Crime and Money Laundering: Does Anti-Money Laundering Policy Reduce Crime?" develops a new indicator for the quality of anti money laundering policy and shows the relation between anti money laundering policy and crime

Lucia Dalla Pellegrina and Donato Masciandaro "The Risk-Based Approach in the New European Anti-Money Laundering Legislation: A Law and Economics View" stress the importance of introducing additional auditing in the new risk based anti money laundering regime, where the private sector bears the burden of identifying and reporting suspicious transactions http://www.bepress.com/rle/vol5/iss2/art6/
Brigitte Unger and Frans van Waarden "How to Dodge Drowning in Data? Rule- and Risk-Based Anti Money Laundering Policies Compared" show that the risk based regime will lead to over reporting and to drowning in useless data in many countries, especially in adversarial legal systems like the US, but not in the Netherlands
