Alcohol Consumption and Learning Performance of College Students: An Econometrics Approach
Keywords:
Alcohol consumption, Academic Achievement, Grade Point Average *Abstract
This paper aims to analyze the impacts of alcohol consumption on academic
achievement of college students in Thailand. From a survey of 608 college
students in a university in Bangkok, academic achievement (measured by their
Grade point Average) is found to be negatively affected by their alcohol
consumption’s behavior. We also use instrumental variable techniques to correct
for the endogeneity and simultaneous equation model. We also find that the
student’s personal characteristics and studying behavior have also statistically
significant impact on the academic achievement.
