Investigating the Volume and Structure of Alcohol Consumption and their Impact on Life Expectancy in Russian Regions Tatiana Kossova, PhD in Economics, Elena Kossova, PhD in Mathematics, Maria Sheluntcova, PhD in Economics National Research University Higher School of Economics, This paper is an output of a research project implemented as part of the Basic Research Program at the National Research University Higher School of Economics (HSE)

National Research University Higher School of Economics, 2015 Consumption of alcohol in Russian regions фото What macroeconomic factors influence alcohol consumption in Russian regions? The priority of the government policy is to reduce alcohol consumption The volume and structure of alcohol consumption continue to change

National Research University Higher School of Economics, 2015 Literature review фото Regional differences in alcohol consumption Paper of Bränström & Andréasson (2008) for Sweden; Benčević- Striehlet et al (2009) for Croatia; Ogwang & Cho (2009) for Canada, etc. Macroeconomic factors influence alcohol consumption Per capita income: paper of Chaix & Chauvin (2003) for France, Ogwang & Cho (2009) for Canada, etc. Unemployment: paper of Herzfeld et al (2014) for Russia, Ogwang & Cho (2009) for Canada, Schnuerer et al (2013) for Germany, etc. Urbanization: paper of Klein & Pittman (1993) for the US, Schnuerer et al (2013) for Germany, Herzfeld et al (2014) for Russia, etc.

National Research University Higher School of Economics, 2015 Alcohol consumption and life expectancy in Russia фото Life expectancy gap between Russia and Western countries remains substantial largely due to alcohol abuse in Russia ( Shkolnikov et al., 2013) At least 1/3 of all deaths in Russia are directly or indirectly associated with alcohol intake (Pridemore 2008; Popov 2009) Regions substantially differ from each other on the volume of alcohol consumption and life expectancy indicators What is the relationship between alcohol consumption and mortality from external causes as well as life expectancy in Russia?

National Research University Higher School of Economics, 2015 Conclusions on the volume & structure of alcohol consumption in Russia фото There is the general trend of reduction of alcohol consumption in Russia as a whole over Vodka and beer are main alcoholic beverages consumed in Russia The North of the European part of Russia and the Far East that are characterized by problem drinking

National Research University Higher School of Economics, 2015 Conclusions on macroeconomic factors фото Regions’ welfare & alcohol consumption: positive correlation The unemployment rate affects the consumption of different types of alcoholic beverages in a different way Urbanization & alcohol consumption: positive correlation. Sparsely populated regions are characterized by higher alcohol consumption

National Research University Higher School of Economics, 2015 Conclusions on alcohol consumption & life expectancy in Russia фото We confirm positive relationship between alcohol consumption and mortality from external causes in Russian regions The average life expectancy, other things being equal, is lower in regions where alcohol consumption is high. This effect is stronger for men than for women
