Taxing sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) has been proposed as a means to improve U.S. dietand health and generate revenue to address obesity-related issues. A related concern is thatchildren’s intake of SSBs, a third that of milk consumption in the late 1970s, now equals milkconsumption....

This study extends Barten's synthetic demand modeling approach to increase the flexibility of the uniform substitute specification of the Rotterdam demand system. Marginal propensities to consume (MPC) vary with budget shares and Slutsky coefficients are defined in terms of varying MPCs. An...

A demand system model differentiating goods by origin is developed to examine impacts of duty drawback on U.S. orange juice exports and prices. An empirical analysis suggests that on average duty drawback has increased annual orange juice exports by about 16.5 million SSE gallons or 11% of...
