| Abstract: | 本研究探討南韓嚴格化酒駕政策之影響，特別聚焦於尹昌浩法的實施成效。研究運用涵蓋2017年7月至2019年8月共229個行政區之區域層級（district-level）追蹤資料，透過差異中之差異法（Difference-in-Differences, DID）、事件研究法（Event Study），以及三重差分法（Difference-in-Difference-in-Differences, DDD）來檢驗政策實施效果。
實證分析結果顯示，酒駕法案的第一階段，即針對嚴重酒駕事故提高刑事處罰力度的措施，顯著降低了酒駕導致的死亡與傷害事故數量。然而，這種嚇阻效果隨著時間推移逐漸減弱，凸顯單純依賴嚴厲刑罰難以維持長期行為改變的限制性。
相較之下，政策的第二階段，即加嚴血液酒精濃度（BAC）限制並降低再犯認定標準，並未產生統計上顯著的影響。此結果可能是由於初期改革後社會大眾的關注逐漸淡化，以及最初對法律敏感的人群已經調整行為，剩餘之駕駛人大多為習慣性違規者，對進一步法律加嚴的反應有限。
研究結果強調，僅僅透過法律加嚴可能不足以有效地長期抑制酒駕行為，應當輔以公共教育與明顯的執法行動。此外，鄉村地區可能需要量身訂做的策略，以達到最佳效果。
This study examines the impact of South Korea’s tightened drunk driving policies, with a specific focus on the Yoon Chang-ho Act. Using district-level panel data from 229 regions covering the period from July 2017 to August 2019, the study employs Difference-in-Differences (DID), event study, and Difference-in-Difference-in-Differences (DDD) methods to assess the effectiveness of policy.
The empirical results show that the initial phase of drunk driving law, characterized by increased criminal penalties for serious drunk driving accidents, significantly reduced deaths and injuries associated with drunk driving. However, this deterrent effect diminished over time, highlighting the limitations of relying solely on harsh penalties for long-term behavioral change.
In contrast, the second phase, which tightened blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limits and lowered recidivism thresholds, did not yield statistically significant results. This outcome may be attributed to the diminished public attention following the initial reform, as well as the possibility that individuals who were responsive to legal deterrence had already adjusted their behavior. Consequently, the remaining population likely consisted of habitual offenders, for whom the additional legal tightening had limited impact.
These findings highlight that stricter laws alone may not be sufficient. To effectively reduce drunk driving in the long term, additional actions such as public education and visible enforcement are also necessary. Moreover, rural areas might require customized approaches to ensure the best outcomes. |
