“…The main specifications suggested that there is no relationship between drinking level/frequency and life satisfaction, but a wellbeing penalty for those with alcohol problems. This is similar to the only previous such study, which uses Russian data (Massin & Kopp, 2014).…”

“…Only two such studies have been conducted, both using the Russian Longitudinal Monitoring Survey (Graham et al, 2004;Massin & Kopp, 2014); Massin & Kopp's more robust study finds no relationship between alcohol consumption and wellbeing among women, but that heavier drinking men have lower life satisfaction.…”

“…Recently, Massin and Kopp (2014) found a hump-shaped relationship between life satisfaction and alcohol use. Nevertheless, when they introduced a large number of control variables into the model, the hump-shaped curve increasingly flattened.…”

“…4 For the Russian Federation, cross-sectional analyses using the Russia Longitudinal Monitoring Survey (RLMS) also find life satisfaction to be U-shaped in age, with a minimum in well-being between 45 and 55 (Graham and Pettianto, 2002;Ravallion and Lokshin, 2002;Graham et al, 2004). However, by exploiting the panel aspect of the RLMS (data from 1994 to 2010) and accounting for individual fixed effects, Massin and Kopp (2014) estimate a nonlinear specification of age that places the lowest levels of well-being at age 30-39. They also find that the level of well-being for the oldest age group (70 and above) is statistically similar to that for people aged 20 years and younger.…”
