“…For both models the estimated price elasticity (PRICE) is around −0.4, a figure that is very much in line with earlier estimates (Chaloupka and Warner 2000;Gallet and List 2003;U.S. Department of Health and Human Services 2000).…”

“…A positive sign on CONS it−1 would imply the presence of a habit-forming smoking effect (Baltagi and Levin 1986); the own-price effect would be negative, although the resulting elasticity could vary (Chaloupka and Warner 2000;Goel and Nelson 2008;U.S. Department of Health and Human Services 2000).…”

“…However, given the socio-economic differences across states, the efficacy of national and state smoking control measures can vary substantially. Some formal research on the effectiveness of various measures has been undertaken to evaluate their relative successes (Chaloupka and Warner 2000;Goel and Nelson 2008). However, the definitive superiority of any one (or a set of) smoking control policy has yet to be established, with the result that this area continues to actively engage both researchers and policymakers (Adda and Cornaglia 2010;Lanoie and Leclair 1998).…”

Using state-level U.S. data over 1956-2008 this paper examines the demand for cigarettes. The long data span enables us to compare and evaluate the effectiveness of various policies and to examine cigarette demand across individual states. Our results show cigarette demand to be price inelastic, smoking-habit effects to be strong, income effects to be small, and border price effects can be significant. These findings are quite robust across alternate model specifications. None of the three smoking control policies considered (Fairness Doctrine, Broadcast Ban, and Master Settlement Agreement) were shown to be effective in curbing overall smoking, although most were effective in a few states. Policy implications are discussed.

“…The majority of existing studies have looked at the effects of various anti-smoking policies on cigarette demand, including tax increases, advertising restrictions, smoking bans and restrictions, counter-advertising, etc. (see Chaloupka and Warner, 2000, for a review). Relatively few, however, have tried to study the effects of anti-smoking policies on the market structure of the cigarette industry.…”

“…The demand side parameters are chosen to match two important measures of the market: the price elasticity of demand and the price cost mark-up. According to a survey by Chaloupka and Warner (2000), the estimated price elasticity of demand falls in the range −0.3 to −0.5. As for the price cost mark-up, based on the estimated revenue and cost given in Burlow and Klemperer (1998), the implied figure is 71.3%.…”

The Effects of Taxes and Advertising Restrictions on the Market Structure of the U.S. Cigarette Market

A dynamic oligopoly model of the cigarette industry is developed to study the effects of anti-smoking policies on the market structure of the U.S. cigarette industry. Firms are modeled as competing in price and advertising in a dynamic game. Two commonly used anti-smoking policies – advertising restrictions and tobacco tax increases – are evaluated using calibrated parameters. The simulation results show that in the long run both advertising restrictions and tax increases can successfully reduce the smoking rate. However, advertising restrictions reduce the smoking rate mainly in an indirect way through their impact on the concentration of the market, while tax increases reduce the smoking rate directly and have little effect on the concentration of the market. In addition, in the short run, advertising restrictions have a much smaller effect on reducing the smoking rate than tax increases.

Association of Tobacco Control Policies With Youth Smoking Onset in Chile

IMPORTANCE Tobacco smoking is still responsible for more than 6 million preventable deaths annually, most of which occur in low-and middle-income countries. South American countries, Chile in particular, endure some of the highest cigarette smoking prevalence rates globally. Despite the lack of any meaningful increases in cigarette taxes (the most effective tobacco control measure) between 1999 and 2014, cigarette prices in Chile increased sharply almost entirely driven by British American Tobacco (BAT).OBJECTIVE To examine the associations between cigarette prices and nonprice tobacco control policies targeted at youth introduced in 2006 (Law 20105) and smoking onset among Chilean youths.
