Women and work: tipplers and teetotalers
研究女性酗酒与就业的正相关关系，发现仅对白人女性成立，且酗酒与更高教育、更少子女、更低结婚率相关，这些人力资本因素增加了劳动供给。同时考察终身戒酒与就业、教育、婚姻的关系。
We seek to understand better the puzzling finding that, for women, alcoholism appears to be positively associated with the probability of being employed. Using the 1988 Alcohol Survey of the National Health Interview Survey, we find that this association holds for white women only. For white women, alcoholism and early drinking are associated with higher educational attainment, a smaller family size and a lower probability of being married. In turn, these human capital indicators are associated with greater labour supply, thus helping to explain the curious positive relationship between alcoholism and employment for women. An advance in this paper over our previous work is to examine life-time abstention from alcohol and its association with employment and human capital variables. We find that lifetime abstention is associated with lower: employment, unemployment and education and greater propensity to be married for both white and non-white women. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
