Tiffin, J. Richard Data:  2011-10-10 Ano:  2010 Palavras-chave:  Bayesian estimation Censoring Fat tax Infrequency of purchase Nutrient elasticities Obesity Thin subsidy Unit values Agricultural and Food Policy Consumer/Household Economics Demand and Price Analysis Food Consumption/Nutrition/Food Safety Food Security and Poverty Health Economics and Policy D30 D60 H20 I10 I30 Resumo:  This paper examines the health effects of a fiscal food policy based on a combination of fat taxes and thin subsidies. The fat tax is based on the saturated fat content of food items while the thin subsidy is applied to select fruit and vegetable items. The policy is designed to be revenue neutral so that the subsidy exactly offsets the revenue from the fat tax. A model of food demand is estimated using Bayesian methods that accounts for censoring and infrequency of purchase (the problem of unit values is also discussed). The estimated of demand elasticities are used to compute nutrient elasticities which demonstrate how consumption of specific nutrients changes based on price changes in particular foods from the fiscal policy. Results show that while the fat tax decreases saturated fat intake, consumption of other important nutrients is also decreased, which may lead to negative health outcomes.
