| Tiivistelmä: | The study provides evidence on the effect of alcohol consumption on occupational attainment in England. It uses samples of employees from the health survey for England 1992-96. The authors find that, owing to the endogenous nature of alcohol consumption, OLS estimates may provide a biased picture of the impact of alcohol consumption on occupational attainment. Using various sets of instrumental variables, they find positive and significant returns to moderate levels of drinking for male and female employees which drop off rapidly as consumption increases. |
