摘要：This article measures the effect of tobacco education program spending on adolescent tobacco use.We model how corruption influences the policy maker’s decision on subsidies that benefit firmsto the detriment of education spending and its differential effect by gender. We estimate the effectof tobacco education program spending, instrumented by our corruption proxy, on adolescenttobacco use. More tobacco education program spending significantly increases the probabilityof never smoking among all adolescents but reduces the frequency of smoking only amongadolescent females. One plausible explanation is that females have a more inelastic marginalutility of health than males.
