英文文献摘要:
"Fat taxes" have been proposed as a way of addressing food-related health concerns. In this paper, we investigate the possible effects of "thin subsidies," consumption subsidies for healthier foods. Empirical simulations, based on data from the Continuing Study of Food Intake by Individuals, are used to calculate the potential health benefits of subsidies on certain classes of fruits and vegetables. Estimates of the cost per statistical life saved through such subsidies compare favorably with existing U.S. government programs.
“脂肪税”被提议作为解决与食品有关的健康问题的一种方式。在这篇论文中,我们调查了“小额补贴”对健康食品的消费补贴可能产生的影响。以持续研究个人食物摄入量的数据为基础的经验模拟,用于计算对某些种类水果和蔬菜的补贴可能带来的健康好处。通过这种补贴所节省的每个统计生命的成本,与现有的美国政府计划相比是有利的。
