Utilizing a panel data set of 42 states over the period 1959-1994, this paper estimates a rational addiction model for liquor consumption for the US. The empirical evidence is consistent with the rational addiction hypothesis proposed by Becker and Murphy. However, the results are sensitive to the assumption of homogeneity across states or over time.
本文利用1959 - 1994年期间42个州的面板数据集,估计了美国酒类消费的理性成瘾模型。实证证据与贝克尔和墨菲提出的理性成瘾假说一致。然而,结果对各州之间或不同时间的同质性假设很敏感。
