报告内容摘要 | |||
The link between the consumption of alcohol and violence is well established in the medical and epidemiological literature. What is not well established is a causal link. It is known that alcohol consumption creates a disinhibiting process that can lead to violent activity. It is also argued that violent people may consume excess quantities of alcohol. There may also be some third unknown factor that links alcohol consumption to violent behaviour. This paper cuts through the causative argument by reporting a link between the price of alcohol and violence-related injury. It examines the influence of the real price of alcohol both on-premises and off-premises on violence-related injuries of the adult population which results in Emergency Department attendance across the economic regions of England and Wales. The data are monthly frequency of violent-injury covering the period 2005-2014. An econometric model is estimated using panel techniques. The principal finding is that a one-way relationship between the real price of alcohol and violent injury is established that reinforces the causal link between alcohol consumption and violence. | |||
