Abstract:

This report examines the relationship between minimum drinking age (MDA) and

highway fatalities during the 1975-1985 period, when 35 states changed their

MDAs. An econometric model of fatalities involving the 18-20 year-old driver

normalized by the 18-20 year-old population is used to compare the fatality

experience of states with a change in MDA to that of states without a change

in their law. The effect of a national uniform MDA of 21 depends on the status

of individual state MDAs when the change is implemented; however, it is

estimated that an 11 percent decrease in highway fatalities involving 18-20

year-old drivers can be expected if the MDA is increased from 18 to 21.
