The Effects of Cannabis Use on Wages of Prime‐age Males*
利用阿姆斯特丹居民数据,研究壮年男性工人的工资是否受大麻使用影响,发现近期使用有负面效应,且开始使用年龄越早,工资损失越大。
Abstract This paper uses a data set collected among inhabitants of Amsterdam, to study whether wages of prime‐age male workers are affected by cannabis use. The analysis shows that recent cannabis use has a negative effect on wages. The size of the wage effect depends on the age of onset. The earlier the start of cannabis use the larger the negative wage impact.
