摘要：We examine how cross-country differences in tobacco regulations affect tobacco imports andconsumer health.We find that tobacco imports increase when a rich exporter’s tobacco regulationsare stringent relative to the regulations of its poor importing trade partner. The main policy drivermay be differences in marketing and counter-advertising tobacco regulations between tradingpartners. If a rich exporting country adopts counter-advertising tobacco regulations, mortalityand morbidity from tobacco-related diseases in the poor importing country increase by four andeighty smokers per million people annually, respectively. Our results highlight the importance ofaccounting for spillovers in an increasingly multilateral economy.
