Market and Welfare Effects of a U.S. Sugar-Sweetened Beverage Tax

Yunkyung Lee's research dataset analyzes the market and welfare effects of a nationwide sugar-sweetened beverage tax in the United States. The dataset, last updated on 2026-05-15, is a 164.8 KB PDF file shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license on figshare. It contains analytical and simulation results from an integrated multi-market framework evaluating impacts on consumers, producers, and supply chains.

Use Cases

• Modeling consumer welfare changes based on heterogeneous consumer and producer frameworks described in the study.
• Analyzing market interactions between soda and fruit juice supply chains following a policy shock.
• Simulating the distributional impacts of a tax policy on different economic agents.
• Assessing the potential for tax revenue reinvestment to offset consumer welfare losses.

Strengths

• Dataset is based on an integrated multi-market framework analyzing heterogeneous agents and imperfect competition.
• The analysis specifically evaluates distributional impacts on consumers, producers, and supply chains.
• The modeling framework is described as general and adaptable to other regions.

Limitations

• The dataset is a 164.8 KB PDF; the underlying structured data (columns, rows) is not directly accessible.
• Row count and column-level documentation are unknown, limiting suitability assessment.
• The data may reflect modeling assumptions and biases inherent to the U.S. economic context.
