The demand for UK beer: estimates of the long-run on- and off-trade beer price elasticities

Over the last 30 years, UK beer sales have been falling while the market itself has experienced a dynamic shift from on-trade to off-trade sales.

The results shed light on the changing UK beer market, while also having different implications for imposing beer excise duties and the debate on a minimum price per unit for alcohol.
