“…The reason is that households with large family size need more amount of food than those with few family sizes, keeping other factors unchanged. This result contradicts the finding obtained by Siman et al (2020) where it was indicated that the number of household members did not affect the household food expenditure. On the other hand, the positive effect of household size on HDDS revealed by this study appears soundless since large household size is often associated with poverty, especially in rural areas of Ethiopia (Muhammedhussen, 2015;Demissie, 2016), which can deplete the dietary diversity consumption of households.…”

This study empirically investigates the effect of productive safety net programme (PSNP) on household food consumption and dietary diversity in Ethiopia. The study applied random effects with instrumental variable to estimate the effect of PSNP membership. The study indicates that though PSNP membership improves household food consumption, it reduces household dietary diversity score. Household food consumption and dietary diversity are also significantly influenced by sex, age, education status of household head, household size, livestock ownership, distance to the nearest market and participation in non-farm activities. The findings of this study suggest that PSNP membership should be reinforced by building household awareness of the benefits of consuming a variety of foods. In addition, PSNP membership should be designed to endow the households to accumulate essential assets, especially livestock.

“…The reason is that households with a large family size need more food than those with a small family size, all other factors remaining constant. This result contradicts the finding obtained by Siman et al (2020), who indicated that the number of household members did not affect household food expenditure. On the other hand, the positive effect of household size on HDDS revealed by this study appears unlikely, since a large household size is often associated with poverty, especially in the rural areas of Ethiopia (Muhammedhussen 2015;Demissie 2016).…”

“…Income elasticity indicates that cigarette consumption decrease by 2.8% and 3.9%, in the short-run and long-run respectively, to a response of 1% increase in income. This finding is inconsistent with the empirical evidence from other studies on developing economies (see : Cetin, 2017;Siman et al, 2020;Tansel, 1993). However, evidence from develop countries also show a negative relationship of income with the cigarette demand (see: Koffarnus et al, 2015).…”

Enacting Ordinance No LXXIV 2002, Pakistan has developed crucial anti-tobacco policies in the last two decades. We, therefore, examine in this paper effects of both price (cigarette taxation) and non-price (public regulations on cigarette smoking) anti-tobacco policies on cigarette demand. To accomplish this objective, we examine the short and long run dynamics of cigarette demand in Pakistan using auto-regressive distributed lag (ARDL) estimator covering the period 1981-2018 (annual observations). The study compares price elasticity estimated with and without regulations on cigarette smoking. The result obtained shows that when price increases by 10%, cigarette consumption decreases by 5% in the short run while it decreases by 6.9% in the long run. This finding confirms that cigarette demand model, in Pakistan, is in-elastic. More interestingly, the study finds that non-price regulations on smoking and cigarette demand have negative and statistically significant association. This finding confirms that non-price regulations influences the long-term dynamics of cigarette smoking in Pakistan. Furthermore, we obtain low price elasticity with non-price regulations and high price elasticity without non-price regulations while estimating cigarette demand equation. This empirical result is an evident of the fact that estimated cigarette price elasticity without incorporating non-price regulations into the demand model, are upward biased. The study therefore, concludes that smoking regulation policy based on overstated cigarette price elasticity would produce ambiguous outcomes. Hence, relying only on cigarette taxation (price policy) to regulate cigarette smoking would not produce desirable outcome. In addition, university education is positively and significantly associated with cigarette consumption. This finding show that our university education do not properly convey anti-smoking message to students. To reduce cigarette smoking, Pakistan will have to implement stronger, more comprehensive and better enforced non-price regulations along with taxes on cigarettes.
