Abstract

Alcohol, a legal psychoactive substance in many countries, is associated with both physical and mental wellbeing. Besides diseases, such as liver cirrhosis, cardiovascular diseases, digestive system cancers, alcohol has been shown to be associated with a number of social problems, involving crime and suicide. This study aimed to investigate the long-run and causal linkages between suicide, alcohol and crime for 15 OECD countries. Panel co-integration, FMOLS, DOLS, and the Panel Granger causality tests were implemented. The empirical findings revealed that (i) there is a positive linkage between alcohol consumption and crime rate and between crime rate and suicide rate in the long run ;(ii) there is also feedback causality between alcohol consumption and crime rate and between crime rate and suicide rate.

Özet

Birçok ülkede yasal bir pisikoaktif madde olan alkol hem fiziksel hem de mental sağlıkla ilişkilidir. Alkol, karaciğer sirozu, kardiyovasküler hastalıklar, sindirim sistemi kanserleri gibi fiziksel hastalıklar dışında, suça teşebbüs ve intihar gibi birçok sosyal problem de neden olduğu bilinmektedir. Bu çalışma, 15 OECD (Avrupa Ekonomik İşbirliği Örgütü) ülkesinde intihar, alkol ve suç oranlarının uzun süreli ve nedensel ilişkisini çalışmayı amaçlamıştır. İntihar, alkol ve suç oranları verileri Panel Eşbütünleşme, FMOLS, DOLS, ve Panel Granger Nedensellik analizleri kullanılarak değerlendirilmiştir. Analiz sonucunda elde edilen bulgular göstermiştir ki: (i) alkol tüketimi ve suç oranları ve suç oranları ve intihar oranları arasında uzun süreli pozitif yönde bir ilişki; (ii) alkol tüketimi ve suç oranları , ve suç oranları ve intihar oranları arasında geribildirim nedenselliği vardır.
