项目摘要

APPLICANT'S ABSTRACT: The main objective of this component of the proposed IRPG project is to specify and test statistically a set of hypotheses regarding the relationships between the use and misuse of alcoholic beverages and labor market outcomes, including labor supply, employment, earnings, and wages. The study will focus on the direct questions of how alcohol consumption and problem drinking affect labor market outcomes and the indirect questions of, for example, how price and tax policies affect labor market outcomes via their impacts on consumption. Among the innovations in the proposed research is its synthesis (via the IRPG) of methodologies and results from the heretofore largely separate research areas on the demand for alcoholic beverages and the effects of alcohol consumption and problem drinking on labor market success. The study will utilize data on adults from the first wave of the National Longitudinal Alcohol Epidemiologic Survey (NLAES-I), conducted in 1991-92. The basic analytical context of the proposed study is in the labor economics tradition of assessing the structural determinants of labor supply and productivity. The project's synthetic component will allow the enhanced estimates of alcohol demand relationships to permit a more consistent empirical perspective on alcohol's labor market effects than has been previously attempted. The study will employ state-of-the-art statistical methodologies to estimate the key parameters of such relationships, to draw inferences thereabout, and to test the "goodness of fit" of the postulated empirical relationships. Since the social costs associated with the misuse of alcoholic beverages are now generally regarded to be huge, information about relationships like those to be examined in the proposed research is of central importance in efforts to target prevention efforts in a reasonable manner. From a cost-effectiveness perspective it is clearly essential to have a coherent sense of what prevention efforts accomplish if scarce resources are to be sensibly allocated. The results of the proposed study will provide a reliable basis for addressing some of these issues.

申请人的摘要：拟议的这一组成部分的主要目标 IRPG项目是在统计学上指定和检验一组假设关于酒精的使用和滥用之间的关系饮料和劳动力市场的结果，包括劳动力供应，就业，收入和工资。本研究将集中探讨如何酒精消费和问题饮酒影响劳动力市场的结果，间接的问题，例如，价格和税收政策如何影响劳动力市场的结果通过其对消费的影响。中在拟议的研究创新是它的综合（通过IRPG），方法和结果从迄今为止很大程度上独立的研究对酒精饮料的需求和酒精的影响消费和问题饮酒对劳动力市场成功的影响。这项研究将利用第一波全国性调查中的成年人数据。纵向酒精流行病学调查（NLAES-I），1991-92年进行。本研究的基本分析背景是劳动经济学传统的评估劳动力供给的结构性决定因素，生产力该项目的合成部分将允许增强的酒精需求关系的估计，以允许更一致的酒精对劳动力市场的影响比以往任何时候都要大。以前尝试过。这项研究将采用最先进的统计方法，估计这种关系的关键参数的方法， ”“然后呢？“好，“ 经验关系。由于与滥用酒精饮料相关的社会成本现在普遍认为是巨大的，关于关系的信息，在拟议的研究中要检查的那些是至关重要的，以合理的方式开展有针对性的预防工作。从从成本效益的角度来看，显然必须有一个连贯的如果要将稀缺的资源用于预防工作，合理分配。拟议研究的结果将提供一个解决其中一些问题的可靠基础。
