Abstract
Alcohol and Income: Examining the Drinker's Bonus
By Benedic N. Ippolito
Using data on males from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth,
this paper
examines the relationship between current income and both
contemporaneous drinking
habits and past drinking habits. We expect both current and past
drinking to be
significant predictors of current income, and hypothesize this
relationship is at least
partially based on personality types. The results show a positive
relationship between
contemporaneous drinking and income, primarily from moderate
drinkers. Personality,
while related to income, does not affect this relationship. Past
drinking is also found to
be positively related to current income, and further, lessens the
importance of current
drinking habits. This may suggest that the relationship is driven
by some unobserved
characteristic.
