Abstract

El consumo de alcohol por parte de un miembro del hogar genera externalidades negativas sobre el presupuesto familiar, afectando la distribución del gasto y el bienestar de los demás integrantes. Reducciones significativas en los recursos asignados hacia los niños asociados a elevados consumos de alcohol de los adultos pueden tener consecuencias negativas para su desarrollo a largo plazo. Este trabajo analiza si el consumo de alcohol por parte de los adultos se asocia a la distribución del gasto al interior de los hogares, afectando el bienestar de los niños. Se estima un modelo colectivo de demanda para Argentina empleando los datos de la Encuesta Nacional de Gastos de los Hogares (ENGH) 2017/2018. Las estimaciones permiten identificar cuál es la proporción del gasto total destinada a los adultos y niños, focalizando en familias que exhiben distintos niveles de consumo de alcohol. Este trabajo presenta la primera evidencia para América Latina sobre la relación entre el consumo de alcohol y la distribución del gasto dentro hogar. Los resultados indican que el consumo intenso de alcohol genera un detrimento en el bienestar individual de los niños, en tanto se asocia a una re-distribución de recursos dentro del hogar en favor de los adultos.
