烟草产业规制——基于需求面的分析框架

烟草是对健康有害的嗜好品,它有特殊的市场形态,其价格弹性和收入弹性都不同于普通产品.对这类产业的规制也不同于普通产业,其规制目标是产业促退而不是产业促进.中国的烟草产品又有区别于发达国家和其他发展中国家的独特市场形态,规制政策选择既要考虑国际通例,也要结合中国的市场特性.烟草产业规制要在规制效率、规制成本和社会公正之间寻求平衡.

The Specific Market Performance of Tobacco and its Regulation

Tobacco is a harmful addictive product with special market performance. The price elasticity of demand for tobacco and its elasticity of income are different from normal market. The regulation for tobacco industry focuses on decreasing rather than promotion as applied in normal industries. The tobacco market in China is quite different not only from developed countries but also other developing countries. The regulation of tobacco in China should not ignore precedent international lessons while taking into account of the specificity of Chinese tobacco market. The policy black hole in the tobacco market of China must be considered as one of the most important preconditions in the policy framework. The balance between efficiency and cost of regulation would be achieved with the goal of social justice accordingly.
