Based on an analysis of the second National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, conducted between 1976 and 1980, we find that the frequency of the consumption of beer, the most popular alcoholic beverage among youths, is inversely related to the real price of beer and to the minimum legal...

We examine how market structure, measured as the number of firms, affects prices, quantities, product assortment, and consumer surplus. Our analysis exploits Washington’s deregulation of spirit sales, which generated exogenous variation in market structure across the state. Consistent with the...

Due to that manganese-based Prussian blue analogues (Mn-PBAs) have a rigid and open 3D framework and adjustable redox potential, coupled with nontoxic nature, they could be effectively applied in various medicinal and biomedical fields. In this study, we reported the nanozyme activity of Mn-PBA...

The study of consumer attitudes is particularly important for products related to tradition. Despite the fact that pálinka is Hungary's national drink, the preferred alcoholic drink is the homemade distillate, which is primarily legally different from pálinka and cannot be marketed. This...

Extensive application on metal chalcogenide in the field of catalyst has led us to present a one-step hydrothermal synthesis of hybrids consisting of nickel sulfide in form of Ni3S4-NiS (NN) and hybrids of this catalyst with reduced graphene oxide (Ni3S4–NiS-rGO). After accurate physical...

Excessive consumption of alcoholic beverages causes addiction, damages people’s health and has disrupting social and family consequences. Given that, many countries impose other taxes on these products in addition to sales tax. The ways to apply these taxes are different, however, they are...
