Abstract
This paper presents estimates of a dynamic individual‐level model of cannabis consumption, using data from a 1998 survey of young people in Britain. The econometric model is a split‐population generalization of the non‐stationary Poisson process, allowing for separate dynamic process for initiation into cannabis use and subsequent consumption. The model allows for heterogeneity in consumption levels and behavioural shifts induced by leaving education and the parental home. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
