The economics of tobacco control

This research began with the collaborative study "Economics of smoking in Europe" that investigated the association between tobacco price and the prevalence of consumption. Subsequently we are participating in studies on the elasticity of tobacco by taxes and the price of tobacco, with individual and aggregated data collected at European level as part of a project of the 7th framework program and another project about the economic impact of the tobacco law in Spain.
