在经济学家和政策制定者中，估算香烟需求的弹性已经变得司空见惯。然而，将各种弹性综合到连贯的消息中是非常具有挑战性的，因为点估计是使用完全不同的建模技术和数据获得的。在本研究中，我们进行了荟萃分析，以探索影响研究内部和研究之间差异的因素。实证结果表明，需求规范、数据问题和估计方法对价格、收入和广告弹性的报告估计有不同程度的影响。版权所有：John Wiley Sons， Ltd。
Estimating elasticities of cigarette demand has become commonplace amongst economists and policymakers. Synthesizing the various elasticities into a coherent message is quite challenging, however, as the point estimates are obtained using quite disparate modeling techniques and data. In this study, we perform a meta-analysis to explore factors that influence variations within and across studies. Empirical results suggest that demand specification, data issues, and estimation methodology have varying degrees of influence on reported estimates of price, income, and advertising elasticities.
