DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Economic "myths" about the role of tobacco production in Argentina have been promoted by the tobacco industry for decades and as a result they have successfully undermined tobacco control in Argentina. This situation has led to the establishment of a strong legal system to protect tobacco production. Also, tobacco price in Argentina is one of the lowest of the region, while the country presents one of the highest levels of tobacco use in America. This project seeks to generate a body of local evidence to counteract these economic myths and promote effective tax policies to reduce tobacco consumption. The specific research objectives are: 1) to characterize the situation of tobacco production in Argentina from the legal, economic, social, and political perspectives; 2) to evaluate the viabilit of a tobacco tax and price increase policy and its potential impacts on tobacco production, tobacco use, and tax revenue; 3) to evaluate the viability of tobacco crop substitution in Argentina; and 4) to build capacity in tobacco economy research with a tobacco control perspective. We will develop multiple research strategies with quantitative and qualitative designs to meet the first three objectives: review and analysis of the legal framework for tobacco production, identification and in-depth interviews with the key stakeholders of the tobacco production chain, evaluation of the impact of tobacco production on the generation of employment through the analysis of data panels, and the analysis of tobacco industry strategies related to tobacco tax and price policy through the review of internal industry documents and media communications. We will also evaluate tobacco price-elasticity and the impact of tobacco tax and price increase on tobacco tax revenue, consumption, subsidies to tobacco production, and in the tobacco leaf growing economies. The social acceptance of a tobacco price increase policy will be assessed through an opinion poll. Last, we will develop a randomized cross-sectional survey to evaluate the life conditions of small tobacco growers in two Argentinean tobacco- growing provinces and we will assess the agronomical and economic viability of tobacco crop substitution. This project is also oriented to building research and advocacy capacity for dealing with tobacco economy issues, which will be essential to promote effective tobacco tax and price policy change. It will also facilitate the search for sustainable alternative to tobacco for small tobacco farmers.

描述（申请人提供）：几十年来，烟草业一直在宣扬有关阿根廷烟草生产作用的经济“神话”，因此它们成功地破坏了阿根廷的烟草控制。这种情况导致建立了一个强有力的法律的制度来保护烟草生产。此外，阿根廷的烟草价格是该地区最低的国家之一，而该国是美国烟草使用水平最高的国家之一。该项目旨在提供大量当地证据来抵消这些经济神话并促进有效的税收政策以减少烟草消费。具体的研究目标是：1）从法律的、经济、社会和政治角度描述阿根廷烟草生产的状况; 2）评估烟草税和价格上涨政策的可行性及其对烟草生产、烟草使用和税收的潜在影响; 3）评估阿根廷烟草作物替代的可行性;（4）从烟草控制的角度加强烟草经济研究的能力建设。我们将开发多种研究策略，定量和定性设计，以满足前三个目标：审查和分析烟草生产的法律的框架，确定烟草生产链的主要利益攸关方并与之进行深入访谈，通过分析数据小组评估烟草生产对创造就业的影响，通过查阅行业内部文件和媒体沟通，分析烟草行业与烟草税收和价格政策相关的战略。我们还将评估烟草价格弹性以及烟草税和价格上涨对烟草税收、消费、烟草生产补贴和烟叶种植经济体的影响。将通过民意调查评估社会对烟草价格上涨政策的接受程度。最后，我们将开展一项随机横断面调查，以评估阿根廷两个烟草种植省小烟农的生活条件，并评估烟草作物替代的农艺和经济可行性。该项目还着眼于建设研究和宣传能力，以处理烟草经济问题，这对促进有效的烟草税和价格政策变革至关重要。它还将促进为小烟农寻找可持续的烟草替代品。
