countries, is associated with both physical and mental wellbeing. Besides
diseases, such as liver cirrhosis, cardiovascular diseases, digestive system
cancers, alcohol has been shown to be associated with a number of social
problems, involving crime and suicide. This study aimed to investigate the long-run
and causal linkages between suicide, alcohol and crime for 15 OECD countries.
Panel co-integration, FMOLS, DOLS, and the Panel Granger causality tests were
implemented. The empirical findings revealed that (i) there is a positive
linkage between alcohol consumption and crime rate and between crime rate and
suicide rate in the long run ;(ii) there is also feedback causality between
alcohol consumption and crime rate and between crime rate and suicide rate. </span> </i> </p>}, number={1}, publisher={Bandirma Onyedi Eylul University}
