Abstract

Abstract Bans on retail tobacco displays, of the type proposed by New York’s Mayor Bloomberg in March 2013, have been operative in several economies since 2001. Despite an enormous number of studies in public health journals using attitudinal data, we can find no econometric event studies of the type normally used in Economics. This paper attempts to fill that gap by using data from 13 cross sections of the annual Canadian Tobacco Use Monitoring Surveys. These data afford an ideal opportunity to study events of this type given that each of Canada’s 10 provinces implemented display bans at various points between 2003 and 2009. Accordingly, we use difference-in-difference methods to study three behaviors following the introduction of bans: participation in smoking, the intensity of smoking and quit intentions. A critical element of the study concerns the treatment of contraband tobacco. Our estimates provide very little support for the hypothesis that behaviors changed following the bans.

零售烟草陈列禁令

纽约市长布隆伯格于2013年3月提议禁止零售烟草展示，自2001年以来已在几个经济体实施。尽管在公共卫生期刊上有大量使用态度数据的研究，但我们找不到经济学中通常使用的类型的计量经济学事件研究。本文试图通过使用来自加拿大年度烟草使用监测调查的13个横截面的数据来填补这一空白。这些数据为研究这类事件提供了一个理想的机会，因为加拿大10个省中的每个省在2003年至2009年的不同时间点都实施了展示禁令。因此，我们采用差异中差异的方法来研究禁令引入后的三种行为:吸烟参与、吸烟强度和戒烟意图。这项研究的一个关键因素涉及对走私烟草的处理。我们的估计对禁令后行为改变的假设提供了很少的支持。
