WORKING PAPERS
Meeting Health Challenges in Developing Asia with Corrective Taxes on Alcohol, Tobacco, and Unhealthy Foods
Chris Lane
April 20, 2022
In developing Asia there is potential for higher corrective taxes to help prevent many non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and contribute revenue. The productivity loss from death and disability from alcohol, tobacco and diets high in sugar-sweetened beverages in purchasing power parity dollars is PPP$...
CGD NOTES
The IMF and Health Taxes: Progress Falters during COVID-19 Emergency
Chris Lane
March 03, 2022
Corrective taxes on harmful products—health taxes—are a cost-effective way to save lives and generate additional tax revenue. In new research, we show that health tax measures during COVID-19 have diminished in number and strength because the international community has mobilized additional, largely...

The Opportunity Cost Neglect in Healthcare: Bad Choices Are Not About Overspend But Life Lost
Ursula Giedion
and
Javier Guzman
December 13, 2021
In the language of economists, opportunity cost refers to the return or other forms of benefit that we could have received, but gave up, to take another course of action. In mathematical terms, it is the difference between the utility of what we have chosen and that from the foregone choice. Or, in ...

Corrective Taxes to Save Lives
Chris Lane
and
Amanda Glassman
November 17, 2021

Taxes on gas to reduce pollution or on...

Chris Lane
and
Vinayak Bhardwaj
November 17, 2021
Behind the daily trauma of COVID-19 lies a larger and longer-lasting global health challenge resulting from the consumption of tobacco, alcohol, and sugar-sweetened beverages. Using a sample of 25 large advanced and emerging market economies accounting for three-quarters of global GDP, we show that ...

What Happened to Tobacco Taxation During the COVID-19 Pandemic?
Chris Lane
November 10, 2021
Tobacco use is the world’s leading cause of preventable death, claiming eight million lives per year, which together with tobacco-attributable disability is equivalent to an annual global productivity loss of 1.8 percent of GDP. Extensive evidence shows that tobacco taxation is the most effective an...
POLICY PAPERS
Using Health Taxes to Support Revenue: An Action Agenda for the IMF and World Bank
Chris Lane et al.
March 01, 2021
The Covid-19 pandemic has led to large budget gaps in low- and middle-income countries, with revenues projected to be reduced for years to come. This is the moment for policymakers to consider whether health taxes—levied on tobacco products, alcoholic and sugar-sweetened beverages, and polluting fue...

Supporting COVID-19 Recovery and Improving Health Outcomes: The Case for Health Taxes
Chris Lane
and
Eleni Smitham
March 01, 2021
This blog and the accompanying CGD Policy Brief are a follow-up to the 2019 “Health Taxes Save Lives” report by the Task Force on Fiscal Policy for Health co-chaired by Michael Bloomberg and Lawrence Summers.

Eliminating Duty-free Tobacco—What Went Wrong?
Chris Lane
February 04, 2021
International commitments to curb duty-free sales of tobacco under the Framework Convention for Tobacco Control have been largely ineffective, despite their potential to contribute to tobacco control as well as fiscal goals.
Blog Post
Measuring the Effectiveness of Health Taxes: The Cigarette Tax Scorecard
Chris Lane
December 14, 2020
Tobacco taxes are a highly effective instrument to reduce the consumption of tobacco, discourage new young smokers, raise government revenue, and help reduce the social and economic costs of tobacco products consumption, estimated at 8 million premature deaths per year and costing 1.8 percent of glo...
