Özet:
This dissertation extends the literature on tobacco taxation by using public choice theory as the basis for examining the political economy of cigarette taxes in a cross-country context. The paper defines and empirically tests two theoretical models of tobacco taxation: a median voter theorem (MVT) model of public interest regulation and a special interests model that assesses tobacco producer influences. Panel data are developed for 157 countries for the period 2008 -- 2014, combining new sources of information on smoking and cigarette taxation with political, economic, agricultural and demographic data. Smoking prevalence is found to be significant and positively associated with tobacco excise tax rates. The coefficient on the amount of tobacco grown is found to be negatively associated with cigarette excise taxes, but not significant. Findings from this work have important implications for public health and fiscal authorities in determining the tax regimes for tobacco.
