Abstract

The use of the tools provided by economics to study addictive behaviours dates back to a few decades. Despite a large number of publications confirming the interest of economists in this topic, economics has long struggled – and is still struggling – to impose itself as a discipline of reference in the analysis of addictions. The aim of this paper is to present a brief overview of what economics as a scientific discipline can bring to the analysis of addictive behaviors. The variety of methods, approaches and points of view within economics is such that it is not possible to present an exhaustive overview here. Our main goal is to describe the potentialities to non-specialists. It is proposed to organize these under five headings, which can be associated with five traditional branches of economics: microeconomics of consumer theory, industrial economics, public economics (comprising two sub-branches: political economy and welfare economics), macroeconomics and public policy evaluation.
