Cognitive, Noncognitive, and Social Skills and Alcohol Consumption.
We study the effects of cognitive, noncognitive, and social skills on alcohol consumption, measured through total quantity, frequency, typical quantity, and binge drinking. Using the data from the NLSY79, we find that cognitive skills increase drinking frequency but reduce binge drinking and typical quantity. Noncognitive skills negatively impact frequency, typical quantity, and binge drinking, whereas social skills positively affect all measures of alcohol consumption. We present a framework and employ parametric causal mediation analysis to explore transmission channels, identifying mental wellness, future planning, and occupation prestige as significant mediators. However, the direction of this influence varies, highlighting the heterogeneity of the transmission channels.
期刊介绍:
This Journal publishes articles on all aspects of health economics: theoretical contributions, empirical studies and analyses of health policy from the economic perspective. Its scope includes the determinants of health and its definition and valuation, as well as the demand for and supply of health care; planning and market mechanisms; micro-economic evaluation of individual procedures and treatments; and evaluation of the performance of health care systems.
Contributions should typically be original and innovative. As a rule, the Journal does not include routine applications of cost-effectiveness analysis, discrete choice experiments and costing analyses.
Editorials are regular features, these should be concise and topical. Occasionally commissioned reviews are published and special issues bring together contributions on a single topic. Health Economics Letters facilitate rapid exchange of views on topical issues. Contributions related to problems in both developed and developing countries are welcome.
