We attempt to disentangle the effect on alcohol-related accidents and fatal crashes when New Mexico lifted its ban on Sunday packaged alcohol sales on July 1, 1995. Using crash incidents between January 1990 and December 2005, from data maintained by the Division of Government Research in New Mexico, we estimate a negative binomial model that controls for unobservable factors affecting overall accidents. One of these factors is an increase in New Mexico's speed limits in 1996. We find no statistically significant increase in total alcohol-related accidents or alcohol-related fatal crashes on Sundays after the repeal of the ban.
我们试图厘清 1995 年 7 月 1 日新墨西哥州取消周日包装酒精销售禁令后，对与酒精相关的事故和致命撞车事故的影响。利用新墨西哥州政府研究部门维护的 1990 年 1 月至 2005 年 12 月期间的撞车事故数据，我们估计了一个负二项式模型，以控制影响整体事故的不可观测因素。其中一个因素是 1996 年新墨西哥州限速的提高。我们发现，在禁令取消后的周日，与酒精相关的事故或酒精相关的致命撞车事故总数并没有统计学意义上的增加。
