Abstract

In this study, households’ alcohol participation and consumption decision structures and the effect of socioeconomic factors influencing on these decisions are analyzed by using Tobit and double-hurdle models with Household Budget Survey data in Turkey. This study shows that alcohol participation and consumption decision are taken as independently from each other and sequentially based on the goodness of fit tests of the model. When the effects of household demographic variables on alcohol consumption decisions are examined, it is obtained that having a child has a negative effect on alcohol participation decision and consumption of cigarette has a positive effect on alcohol participation decision. Furthermore, household income level has a positive effect on both alcohol participation and consumption decision.

Türkiye’de Alkol Katılım ve Tüketim Kararları Üzerine Ampirik Bir Çalışma

Abstract

Bu çalışmada hanelerin alkol katılım ve tüketim karar yapıları ile bu kararları etkileyen sosyoekonomik faktörlerin kararlar üzerindeki etkileri Tobit ve çift eşik yöntemleri yardımıyla Hanehalkı Bütçe Anketi verileri kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Yapılan model uyum iyiliği testleri sonucunda katılım ve tüketim kararlarının birbirinden bağımsız ve sıralı olarak alındığı görülmüştür. Hanehalkına ait demografik değişkenlerin alkol tüketim kararları üzerindeki etkilerine bakıldığında çocuk sahipliğinin katılım kararı üzerinde negatif, sigara tüketiminin ise alkolkatılım kararı üzerinde pozitif etkiye sahip olduğu tahmin edilmiştir. Ayrıca hanehalkı gelir seviyesi hem alkol katılım hem de tüketim kararları üzerinde pozitif etkiye sahiptir.
