本文估计了饮酒年龄和啤酒税对青少年机动车死亡率的影响。使用联立方程模型，结果表明饮酒年龄是死亡率的函数。研究结果还表明，对于 18 至 20 岁的司机来说，饮酒年龄增加至 21 岁（约 8%）将使死亡率降低约 18%。此外，实际啤酒税提高 100%（每箱约 1.50 美元）将使高速公路死亡率降低约 27%。版权所有 1987，牛津大学出版社。
This paper presents estimates of the effects of the drinking age and beer taxes on youth motor vehicle mortality. A simultaneous equation model is used and the resu lts show that the drinking age is a function of mortality rates. The results also show that for eighteen to twenty year-old drivers, an in crease in the drinking age to twenty-one, which is approximately 8 pe rcent, would reduce mortality by approximately 18 percent. Also a 100 percent increase in the real beer tax, which is approximately $1.50 per case, would reduce highway mortality by about 27 percent. Copyright 1987 by Oxford University Press.
