This study argues that a single public subsidy implementation has two different mechanisms for demand stimulation: (1) the signal effect and (2) the discount effect. It conducted monthly questionnaire surveys with Japanese consumers during the pandemic and developed a panel dataset. During the data collection, the Japanese government introduced the \"go-to-travel\" campaign, a typical example of a targeted subsidy. This study utilized this policy implementation and estimated one-way and two-way fixed-effect models. The results show a signal effect, with individuals who were ineligible for the subsidy traveling more after the subsidy was implemented. Furthermore, the analyses indicate the discount effect while controlling for the possible signaling spillovers. This study contributes to the existing literature by focusing on the signal effect, which previous studies have not elucidated.</p><p><strong>Supplementary information: </strong>The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s11002-022-09663-2.</p>","PeriodicalId":48068,"journal":{"name":"Marketing Letters","volume":" ","pages":"1-14"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2022-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9797376/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10474612","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

When considering implementation of such taxes, the current policy and academic discussions have focused on potential outcomes due to price changes. In this paper, we document that price changes are only the immediate response to tax policy changes, and in the long run, tax changes can impact product offerings. Using exogenous changes in tax rates from multiple empirical contexts: (1) the Korean soju market and (2) the US cigarette market, we show that a tax increase is followed by a significant drop in number and variety of product offerings. In addition, the change in product assortments post-tax hinges critically on the nature of tax imposed. We find that specific taxes, as opposed to ad valorem taxes, lead to the exit of products with larger pack size. We conduct a simulation experiment and estimate that studies which do not consider assortment changes can result in a 9% upward bias in consumer welfare for large tax increases. Our findings have important policy implications for research examining the impact of taxes on market outcomes.</p>","PeriodicalId":48068,"journal":{"name":"Marketing Letters","volume":"45 05","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2022-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138520881","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
