Abstract EN
This study examines changes in alcohol consumption and its adverse effects in Poland from 1950 to 2005.
First, we estimate the total alcohol demand function and test Becker and Murphy's (1988) rational addiction model.
Next, we explore substitution effects between beer, wine, and spirits and report income and own- and cross-price elasticities of demand for beer, wine, and spirits.
Finally, we examine some adverse effects of alcohol consumption: traffic accidents, suicide rates, and vandalism rates.
In particular, the effect of lowering the blood alcohol level limit (BAC) on traffic accidents is estimated.
