| 總結: | Tobacco use is harmful to health, and the greatest cause of preventable death. In this study, panel data analysis was conducted in the 16 regions of the Philippines from 1991 to 2012 with a view of assessing the prevalence of tobacco expenditure and factors affecting aggregate tobacco expenditure. The data used came from Family Income and Expenditure Survey conducted every 3 years. The sample consists of 318,473 households. Twenty-four independent variables are suggested -- sixteen quantitative variables and eight qualitative variables. Among these, seven variables are found significant. Results show that aggregate tobacco expenditure is significantly influenced by total non-alcoholic beverages expenditure, total food expenditure, total wages and salaries from agricultural act, total wages and salaries from no- agricultural act, household head age, car quantity, and household head with job. Moreover, it is concluded that cross-sectional effects and time series effects are present. During 1997 tobacco expenditure is at its highest. Meanwhile, tobacco expenditure is at its lowest in 1991. Furthermore, tobacco expenditure is found to be greatest in Central Luzon and lowest in ARMM. |
