Addiction and Social Interaction

Karl Ove Moene

Memorandum from Oslo University, Department of Economics

Abstract: The main message of this paper is that history matters for total drug use in the society. The simple model that we have explored indentifies spillovers and retchets in drug use that cannot so easily be captured in the theory of rational addiction by Backer and other.
