Résumé : |
This volume aims to fill the analytic gap around the economics of tobacco control. Its aim is to address key questions such as:
What is the economic nature of addiction? What is the rationale for governments to intervene in the tobacco market? Which interventions are effective and which are not? Does tobacco control harm the economy? What are the costs and cost-effectiveness of tobacco-control policies? The book is primerily intended for technical staff within governments and international agencies, and academic economists and epidemiologists. (From the preface) |
