초록

This paper investigates how alcohol consumption influences both mortality and crime rates, exploiting the Korean panel data set from 1994 to 2010 in 4 metropolitan areas and 8 regional states. In particular, the instrumental variables are used for both analyses, to solve the potential endogeneity problem in alcohol consumption and mortalities as well as crimes. According to the estimation results, as per-capita alcohol consumption increases, both total mortality and total crime rates increase. Moreover, the increase of per-capita alcohol consumption affects the suicide, homicide, and falling-death rates, while that affects the murder and rape rates. The main contribution of this research is about identifying and confirming that the increase in alcohol consumption can be effective to raise externality costs in Korea.
