This paper describes the life-cycle alcohol consumption patterns of Italian households by decomposing gender, cohort, age and time effects and estimates the importance of demographic characteristics using a double-hurdle model. The appli- cation is based on ISTAT households expenditure survey for the period 1997–2002 organized in cohorts. As expected, cohort and age effects are significant in both par- ticipation and consumptions. The significance of gender and geographic differences suggests important policy implications.

Abstract
This paper describes the life-cycle alcohol consumption patterns of Italian households by decomposing gender, cohort, age and time effects and estimates the importance of demographic characteristics using a double-hurdle model. The appli- cation is based on ISTAT households expenditure survey for the period 1997–2002 organized in cohorts. As expected, cohort and age effects are significant in both par- ticipation and consumptions. The significance of gender and geographic differences suggests important policy implications.File in questo prodotto:
