Abstract

This paper illustrates the potential problems associated with the use of average occupational incomes when the unit of observation is the individual. It does this through an examination of the effects of drinking and smoking on income. The adequacy of the use of the mean income of the occupation of employment as the dependent variable in study of the determinants of income depends on whether the factors affecting income do so more via forces operating within each occupation than from forces affecting the allocation of workers across occupations.
