Commercial Determinants of Health Input-Output Model

Project Status: Active – The project has reached a stable, usable state and is being actively developed. Lifecycle: maturing

Motivation

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.

Usage

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:

  1. Specify changes in spending on alcohol, tobacco, food, and gambling.
  2. Redistribute this spending to other products.
  3. Implement the overall changes on spending to calculate changes in output.
  4. 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.

Installation

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.
