A Toolkit for Simulating the Tobacco Tax System and Its Impact on Consumption, Sales, and Tax Revenue

This Toolkit was written by Centro de Investigación Económica y Presupuestaria A.C. (CIEP) in Mexico. The toolkit provides guidance for developing a tobacco tax simulator to estimate the impact of various tax rates on tobacco consumption, sales, and tax revenues based on a simulator developed by CIEP for the Mexican context. The authors discuss the necessary data and step-by-step methodology to program the simulator. The toolkit also explains how researchers can present the results in an effective infographic that can reach a broader audience.
