Amanda Glassman
and
Chris Lane
October 31, 2022
Many premature deaths from non-communicable diseases can be prevented if countries enact forceful measures to reduce the risk of their citizens falling prey to these diseases. Making it more expensive to consume tobacco, health-harming alcohol, and sugar-sweetened beverages is key to governments ach...

Protecting Health Taxes in an Inflationary World
Chris Lane
July 20, 2022
In this blog, I examine why policymakers should ensure that inflation does not erode corrective taxes on killer products and make them more affordable. Using a survey of recent health tax measures, I show that some countries have ensured that health taxes are stepped up while most have hesitated, an...

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$...

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...

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

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...
