本研究利用涵盖啤酒产品 50 个月观察的平衡面板数据集来研究斋月对土耳其酒精消费的影响。除斋月外，温度、产品价格和可支配收入也是本研究考虑的其他需求因素。正如预期的那样，斋月被发现与较低的饮酒量有关。随着酒精饮料价格的上涨，酒精消费量显着下降。此外，随着可支配收入的增加，酒精消费量也会增加。然而，令人惊讶的是，气温对土耳其的酒精消费没有任何显着影响。
This study utilizes a balanced panel data set covering 50 monthly observations regarding the brewery products to examine the impact of holy month Ramadan on alcohol consumption in Turkey. In addition to the Ramadan, temperature, prices of the products and disposable income are other demand factors which are taken into account in this study. As expected, the Ramadan has been found to be associated with lower alcohol usage. As price of alcoholic drinks increases, the alcohol consumption decreases significantly. In addition, alcohol consumption rises with the enhancements in the disposable income. However, surprisingly, the temperature has not any significant effect on alcohol consumption in Turkey.
