The Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF), the Group for the Analysis of Development (GRADE), and the Institute of Peruvian Studies (IEP) organize the academic seminar “Tax Policy and Demand for Tobacco”.
Our senior researcher, Martín Valdivia, will share the research project “Demand sensitivity and tobacco taxes: a cross-sectional analysis” (visit the project’s Twitter account). Next, the principal investigator of the IEP, Carlos de los Ríos, will present “Demand for work and tax policy: a look from the 1993-2017 time series”.
The project led by Valdivia aims to generate evidence on the effects of taxes on cigarette consumption by population groups, especially adolescents and women, based on recent rate adjustments. It has the support of the Research, Advocacy and Capacity Strengthening Program on Tobacco Taxation of Cancer Research UKA and the American Cancer Society
