Also: http://frank.mtsu.edu/~berc/working/WPSeries_April_20__2011_Impact_%20Education%20on%20Lifestyles.pdf Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Department of Economics and Finance, Middle Tennessee State University Keyword(s): Alcohol Use; Drug Use; Education; Educational Attainment; Heterogeneity; Modeling, Fixed Effects; Smoking (see Cigarette Use) Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This essay investigates the effect of education on different lifestyle variables using NLSY79 panels for 1992, 1994, and 1998. The lifestyle variables are smoking, drinking, marijuana use, and cocaine use. The analysis addresses the joint determination of lifestyle variables within the framework of the Seemingly Unrelated Regression (SUR) model. Unobserved heterogeneity is controlled by the robust fixed-effects model extended to SUR model. It is found that educational attainment has no significant effect on the lifestyle choices of individuals. |
