Résumé :
|
We estimate a generalized linear model to examine adult and teenage cigarette demand. Our analysis focuses on the extent to wich excise taxes and regulations restricting smoking in public places affect cigarette consuption. The adult results indicate that the price elasticity of demand is unstable over time, ranging from 0.06 in 1970 to -0.23 in 1985. These estimates are lower than most found in previous studies. Additionally, regulations restricting smoking in public places have a significant effect on both adult and teenage cigarette demand. (R.A.)
