Using aggregated panel data taken from three waves of the Indonesian Family Life Survey (1993-2000), this article tests the myopic addiction behaviour of cigarette demand. Sensitivity analysis is done by examining a rational addiction behavior of cigarette demand. The results provide support for myopic addiction. The short- and long-run price elasticities of cigarette demand are estimated at -0.28 and -0.73 respectively. Excise taxes are more likely to act as an effective tobacco control in the long-run rather than a major source of government revenue. 2012-03-30T07:31:58Z 2012-03-30T07:31:58Z 2010 Journal Article International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health 1660-4601 http://hdl.handle.net/10986/5247 EN http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/igo World Bank Journal Article Indonesia
