Cornelsen, Laura and Normand, Charles (2012) Impact of the smoking ban on the volume of bar sales in Ireland – evidence from the time series analysis. Health Economics, 21 (5). pp. 551-561.
This paper is the first to estimate the economic impact of a comprehensive smoking ban in all enclosed public places of work, on bars in Ireland. The demand in bars,represented by a monthly index of sales volume, is explained by relative prices in bars, prices of alcohol sold in off-licences and the aggregate retail sales (ARS) as a proxy for general economic activity and incomes. The smoking ban is included into the model as a step dummy and the modelling is done using ARIMAX strategy. The results show a reduction in the volume of sales in bars by -4.6%(po0.01) following the ban.
