Abstract

The beer industry has traditionally been viewed as "recession-proof": drinkers will have their beer notwithstanding the economy's ups and downs. Few empirical studies have examined the veracity of the claim of beer's non-cyclicality and none have used monthly data. This paper uses an error-correction specification to test the sensitivity of monthly beer consumption to cyclical macro-economic variables over the period January 1955-December 1994. Strong support was found for the traditional view: beer is mostly immune to economic cycles. Copyright 2001 by Taylor and Francis Group
