cdohio.mod was created as part of a programme of work on the health
economics of tobacco and alcohol at the Sheffield Centre for Health and
Related Research (SCHARR), The University of Sheffield. The motivation
for cdohio.mod was to provide functions and data that allow the
modelling of economic impacts of changes in the demand for unhealthy
commodities including alcohol, tobacco, food, and gambling.
cdohio.mod is a package for modelling the economic impacts of changes
in spending on alcohol, tobacco, food, and gambling.
The inputs are data on expenditures on these unhealthy commodities, and parameters that describe the inter-relationship between different products in the economy and their relationships to output, gross value added, employment, and government tax revenues.
The processes applied by the functions in cdohio.mod give options
to:
- Specify changes in spending on alcohol, tobacco, food, and gambling.
- Redistribute this spending to other products.
- Implement the overall changes on spending to calculate changes in output.
- From changes in output calculate changes in other macroeconomic outcomes.
The output of these processes is an estimate of changes in macroeconomic outcomes, separated into direct, indirect, and induced effects.
cdohio.mod is available on GitHub. You can install the development
version of cdohio.mod from GitHub with:
#install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_git(
"https://github.com/STAPM/cdohio.mod.git",
ref = "x.x.x",
build_vignettes = FALSE
)
# ref = "x.x.x" is the version to install - change to the version you want e.g. "1.2.3"Then load the package, and some other packages that are useful. Note
that the code within cdohio.mod uses the data.table::data.table()
syntax.
