A study examines the intertemporal demands for alcohol and marijuana of men and women using panel data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth to see if women are less susceptible to addition than men after accounting for possible multi-commodity habit formation. Results from reduced-form demand equations reveal that, although both men and women exhibit signs of multi-commodity habit formation, the cross-drug effects significantly influence quantity consumed for women only.
