| Abstract: | Estimation models of drug demand should encompass the aspect of addiction. Here, the authors consider two static panel data regression models and two cross-section models with lags or leads in drug consumption as additional regressors. Heroin injectors attending a needle exchange service in Oslo were interviewed twice, with a one-year interval. Despite the relatively small sample, statistically significant price and income responses for nearly all of the models and specifications applied are obtained. |
