“…We can, therefore, assume that a set of exogenous factors, which affects the individual's decision, for example, to go bass fishing, is different from factors determining the number of eventually undertaken bass fishing trips. However, in empirical applications, most researchers end up using the same set of economic and non-economic factors to explain both decision processes due to the lack of guidance from the economic theory (Blaylock and Blisard, 1993;Jones, 1989a-c;Yen, 1994). In our opinion, if the trip-related factors, for instance how much a trip will cost, are largely established before taking a bass fishing trip, then the factors affecting the trip frequency may also be included in the decision process.…”

“…Different versions of these models have been used in the last few years (Blundell and Meghir, 1987;Jones, 1989;Blaylock and Blisard, 1992;Gould, 1992;Blisard and Blaylock, 1993;Lin and Milon, 1993;Burton et al, 1994;Yen, 1994;Gao et al, 1995;Yen, 1995;Yen and Su, 1995;Burton et al, 1996;Ramajo, 1996;Su and Yen, 1996;Wang et al, 1996;Yen and Jones, 1997).…”

The objective of this study is to analyze the main determinants of alcoholic beverages consumption at home. Data comes from the latest Spanish Household National Survey, which provides information on expenditure and quantities of different food products by household. Because households are interviewed only 1 week, a large number of zeros have been recorded. Among the existing censured demand models (the double hurdle (DH) model; the purchase-infrequency model; and the Tobit purchase-infrequency model, among others) and after carrying out model selection tests, the DH model has been finally estimated. All expenditure elasticities are positive, corresponding the highest value to spirits. Own price elasticities are negative and also in this case the spirits exhibit the highest value. Socio-economic variables also play an important role in explaining consumer purchase and consumption decisions.

“…The explanatory variables of this study were selected based on the previous studies that investigated the factors affecting alcohol consumption in other countries (Nayga & Capps 1994;Yen 1994;Parker et al 1995;Nayga 1996 Le et al 2009). The variables were grouped into three categories: (1) socio-demographic (age, gender, marital status, employment status, house locality, income, education); (2) health (history of serious family illnesses) and (3) lifestyle (smoking, physical activity) ( Table 1).…”
