High‐resolution behavioral economic analysis of cigarette demand to inform tax policy
Abstract
AIMS: Novel methods in behavioral economics permit the systematic assessment of the relationship between cigarette consumption and price. Towards informing tax policy, the goals of this study were to conduct a high-resolution analysis of cigarette demand in a large sample of adult smokers and to use the data to estimate the effects of tax increases in 10 US States.
DESIGN: In-person descriptive survey assessment.
