Price and consumption of cigarettes: a case for intervention?
AUTOR(ES)
Peto, Julian
RESUMO
It is suggested that cigarette consumption can and should be reduced by tax increases. As this contradicts a recent communication, the differences of analysis and the underlying models are discussed. Straightforward curve-fitting to serial social or economic data can be very misleading. If there is random drift, it is better to analyse consecutive changes of the parameters rather than their actual values.
