本文考察了烟草支出是否排挤了基本需求支出，以及它是否对印度的营养摄入和家庭资源分配产生了影响。本文使用的是印度1999-2000年的家庭抽样调查。对一组10大类商品的二次条件恩格尔曲线系统进行了估计。结果表明，烟草消费家庭对某些商品的消费量较低，如牛奶、教育、清洁燃料和娱乐，这些商品对家庭中的妇女和儿童可能比对男性有更直接的影响，这表明在家庭内部的商品和服务分配方面可能存在“性别影响”和偏见。烟草消费也被发现对人均营养摄入量有负面影响。研究发现，低收入家庭和高收入家庭的挤出性质相似。(C)2007爱思唯尔有限公司。保留所有权利。
This paper examines whether spending on tobacco crowds out expenditure on basic needs and whether it has implications on nutrition intake and household resource allocation in India. The paper uses a household sample survey from India for the year 1999-2000. A system of quadratic conditional Engel curves was estimated for a set of 10 broad groups of commodities. The results suggest that tobacco consuming households had lower consumption of certain commodities such as milk, education, clean fuels and entertainment which may have more direct bearing on women and children in the household than on men suggesting possible 'gender effects' and biases in the allocation of goods and services within the household. Tobacco spending was also found to have negative effects on per capita nutrition intake. The nature of crowding out was found to be similar in low- and high-income households. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd.
