- Abstract
- This project on the agricultural impacts of reduced ignition cigarettes has been carried out in close contact with the Applied Economics group of the National Bureau of Standards. The model is an extension of the log-linear equilibrium model developed in Sumner and Wohlgenant [1]. In Sumner and Wohlgenant we applied the model to the case of a cigarette excise tax increase. In the present case, cigarette modifications present a more complicated application but the core of the model and its solution remain. The other extensions of the present effort are: to draw more completely implications for the tobacco growing industry and to indicate more fully actual, as well as proportional, changes.
