Marihuana and work performance: results from an experiment

J H Kagel, R C Battalio, C G Miles

    The Journal of Human Resources
    |January 1, 1980
    PubMed
    Summary

    Marihuana use did not impact total economic output or work hours in an experimental microeconomy. However, individuals often chose leisure activities post-consumption, suggesting potential indirect economic effects.

    Area of Science:

    • Socioeconomics
    • Behavioral Economics
    • Cannabis Studies

    Background:

    • Understanding the economic impact of marihuana (cannabis) is crucial for policy decisions.
    • Previous research has yielded mixed results on marihuana's effects on labor markets.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To experimentally determine the relationship between marihuana availability/consumption and economic activity.
    • To analyze effects on production, hours worked, and output per hour.

    Main Methods:

    • An experimental microeconomy was established with volunteer human subjects.
    • Statistical analysis compared experimental (marihuana use) and control conditions.

    Main Results:

    • No statistically significant effect of marihuana on total output or total hours worked was found.
    • Marihuana consumption was associated with increased passive leisure activities immediately after use.

    Conclusions:

    • Marihuana consumption does not directly reduce overall economic output or work hours in this experimental setting.
    • Findings suggest a hypothesis for indirect economic impacts, particularly concerning leisure choices.
