LOPEZ SANTIAGO, Marco Andrés et al. Simulation of the impact of the tax on soda in rural Mexican economies: application in a case study. Rev. Mex. Cienc. Agríc [online]. 2017, vol.8, n.3, pp.727-733. ISSN 2007-0934.  https://doi.org/10.29312/remexca.v8i3.46.

This research shows the analysis of the effects of the simulation of the increase of $1 per liter to the price of sodas. The simulation was performed in a characteristic rural community of Mexico. The general computable rural equilibrium model was used under two scenarios: In perfect competition and in absence of markets. The main effect under the two scenarios was a drop of 14.29% in consumption; without consequences on the agricultural, livestock and factor markets. This drink behaved as an inelastic good in the magnitude of -0.85. The soda tax discouraged consumption; however, an effective reduction would require combined strategies.

Palabras llave : computable rural general equilibrium model; elasticity; rural households; taxes on sodas.
