Stock and Watson cigarette consumption data set
The data set consists of annual data for the 48 continental
U.S. states from 1985-1995. Quantity consumed is measured by annual
per capita cigarette sales in packs per fiscal year, as derived from
state tax collection data. The price is the average retail cigarette
price per pack during the fiscal year, including taxes. Income is per
capita income. The general sales tax is the average tax, in cents per
pack, due to the broad-based state sales tax applied to all
consumption goods. The cigarette-specific tax is the tax applied to
cigarettes only. All prices, income, and taxes used in the
regressions in this chapter are deflated by the Consumer Price Index
and thus are in constant (real) dollars. We are grateful to Professor
Jonathan Gruber of MIT for providing us with these data.
