Abstract in brief
- This study evaluates Chile's 2014 tax on sugar-sweetened beverages, finding a significant decrease in the purchase volume of higher-taxed sugary drinks, especially among higher socioeconomic groups.
- The research used household grocery data from 2011 to 2015 and employed statistical methods to control for various factors, showing that the tax effectively reduced the consumption of targeted sugary soft drinks.
- However, the study notes limitations like the absence of a randomized design, which affects the ability to definitively attribute changes solely to the tax policy.
