Objetivo Price is the single most important intervention in tobacco control (TC). To protect the health of its citizens the EU now has a major role in regulating tobacco fiscal policy (FP) through a number of EU directives. The aims of these directives initially were to ensure the proper functioning of the internal market. The directives aided harmonization in EU Member States (MS) but now with EU enlargement price differentials have increased problems for the market and health protection. Price elasticity of tobacco is estimated using econometric analysis of demand but is limited in MS by availability of relevant data. The interaction of FP with other TC policies is poorly defined. The effects of price on smuggling and the tobacco industry response to price changes are complex. Gradually tools are evolving to look at some of these problems. The World Bank has produced a toolkit for economic analysis of tobacco demand with clear guidance on methodology. SimSmoke has allowed the analysis of various TC components to be investigated. This project allows us to perform an econometric analysis at EU level with routinely collected aggregated time series data examining differences in EU MS and the influence of EU border countries. A new cross sectional survey will provide standardised data for EU MS We will examine the effect of the rate of price changes using historical data comparing steep rapid changes e.g. in France with gradual changes in e.g. UK and Ireland. Using SimSmoke we will examine the effects of the interaction of price with: Smoking Cessation Services, Smuggling in high, (Finland, Ireland, UK) and low, (Baltic, Romania) price countries, Smoke free laws (Ireland, Scotland and Italy), Advertising and warnings (Belgium, UK) and predict the effects on other MS. Outputs: Recommendations for policymakers at EU and MS levels with SimSmoke models and a Fiscal Policy Handbook for MS to strengthen tobacco control policies and lead to an equitable EU tobacco market Ámbito científico ciencias socialeseconomía y empresaciencia económicaeconometríaciencias socialesderecho Palabras clave SimSmoke cross sectional survey econometric analysis fiscal policy tobacco control Programa(s) FP7-HEALTH - Specific Programme "Cooperation": Health Tema(s) HEALTH-2007-4.2-5 - Effectiveness of fiscal policies for tobacco control in Europe Convocatoria de propuestas FP7-HEALTH-2007-B Consulte otros proyectos de esta convocatoria Régimen de financiación CP-FP - Small or medium-scale focused research project Coordinador TobaccoFree Research Institute Ireland LBG Dirección Upper mount street 10 2 Dublin Irlanda Ver en el mapa Región Ireland Northern and Western Border Tipo de actividad Research Organisations Contacto administrativo Vanessa Clarke (Ms.) Enlaces Contactar con la organización Opens in new window Sitio web Opens in new window Aportación de la UE € 873 484,00 Participantes (7) Ordenar alfabéticamente Ordenar por aportación de la UE Ampliar todo Contraer todo UNIVERSITY OF BATH Reino Unido Aportación de la UE € 458 823,00 Dirección Claverton down BA2 7AY Bath Ver en el mapa Región South West (England) Gloucestershire, Wiltshire and Bristol/Bath area Bath and North East Somerset, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire Tipo de actividad Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Contacto administrativo Pete Hompstead (Mr.) Enlaces Contactar con la organización Opens in new window Sitio web Opens in new window HBSA Inc Estados Unidos Aportación de la UE € 147 080,00 Dirección 11720 beltsville dr., suite 900 20705 3111 Beltsville Ver en el mapa Tipo de actividad Research Organisations Contacto administrativo Diane Mcknight (Ms.) Enlaces Contactar con la organización Opens in new window Sitio web Opens in new window CENTRE INTERNATIONAL DE RECHERCHE SUR LE CANCER Francia Aportación de la UE € 392 438,00 Dirección 25 avenue tony garnier 69007 Lyon 7eme Ver en el mapa Región Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Rhône-Alpes Rhône Tipo de actividad Research Organisations Contacto administrativo Olaf Kelm (Dr.) Enlaces Contactar con la organización Opens in new window Sitio web Opens in new window ISTITUTO DI RICERCHE FARMACOLOGICHE MARIO NEGRI Italia Aportación de la UE € 516 868,00 Dirección Via mario negri 2 20156 Milano Ver en el mapa Región Nord-Ovest Lombardia Milano Tipo de actividad Research Organisations Contacto administrativo Maria Grazia Pezzoni (Ms.) Enlaces Contactar con la organización Opens in new window Sitio web Opens in new window INSTITUT CATALA D'ONCOLOGIA España Aportación de la UE € 27 564,00 Dirección Av gran via de l'hospitalet 199-203 08908 L'hospitalet del llobregat Ver en el mapa Región Este Cataluña Barcelona Tipo de actividad Research Organisations Contacto administrativo Nuria Benitez Monforte (Ms.) Enlaces Contactar con la organización Opens in new window Sitio web Opens in new window UNION INTERNATIONALE CONTRE LA TUBERCULOSE ET LES MALADIES RESPIRATOIRES Francia Aportación de la UE € 132 485,00 Dirección Boulevard saint michel 68 75006 Paris Ver en el mapa Tipo de actividad Other Contacto administrativo Jose Luis Castro (Mr.) Enlaces Contactar con la organización Opens in new window Sitio web Opens in new window TERVEYDEN JA HYVINVOINNIN LAITOS Finlandia Aportación de la UE € 442 914,00 Dirección Mannerheimintie 166 00271 Helsinki Ver en el mapa Región Manner-Suomi Helsinki-Uusimaa Helsinki-Uusimaa Tipo de actividad Research Organisations Contacto administrativo Jaakko Penttinen (Mr.) Enlaces Contactar con la organización Opens in new window Sitio web Opens in new window
