bebidas açucaradas, taxação, BrasilResumo
Este estudo analisou os efeitos da taxação na demanda de bebidas açucaradas no Brasil e suas implicações sobre o estado nutricional dos brasileiros. Com dados da POF/IBGE, utilizou-se o método QUAIDS para estimar um sistema de demanda com 15 categorias alimentares, incluindo bebidas açucaradas. O imposto ad valorem de 20% sobre as bebidas açucaradas mostrou-se eficaz para reduzir a quantidade demandada. Contudo, o efeito líquido do imposto sobre o peso corporal foi um aumento médio anual de 250g per capita, principalmente devido a relações de substituição entre bebidas açucaradas e alimentos como feijão, leite e suco natural.
