在1986年至1994年期间经历了一段迅速下降的时期后，可卡因的使用在美国再次上升。在大学生中越来越普遍的使用手机尤其令人不安，因为它对人力资本的获取和长期劳动力市场的成功有潜在的影响。我们将美国禁毒署提供的可卡因和大麻价格信息与大学酒精研究提供的可卡因使用数据结合起来，调查了大学生对可卡因的需求。我们发现有证据表明，大学生参与可卡因使用是对可卡因和大麻价格变化的反应，可卡因和大麻对这一人群来说是经济上的补充。进一步的调查显示，21岁以下的人和至少21岁的人对可卡因的需求有显著差异，较年轻的年龄组对可卡因价格的变化反应更灵敏。然而，对可卡因的需求没有发现性别差异。
After experiencing a period of rapid decline between 1986 and 1994, cocaine use is once again on the rise in the United States. The increased prevalence of use among college students is particularly troubling because of its potential impact on human capital acquisition and long-term labor market success. Merging information on the price of cocaine and marijuana from the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency with data on cocaine use from the College Alcohol Study, we investigate the demand for cocaine in the college population. We find evidence that participation in cocaine use by college students is responsive to changes in the price of cocaine and marijuana and that cocaine and marijuana are economic complements for this population. Further investigation revealed significant differences in the demand for cocaine by those less than age 21 and those at least age 21, years, with the younger age group being more responsive to changes in the price of cocaine. No difference is found, however, in the demand for cocaine across gender.
