Announcement!
Pre-IHEA Workshop on Tobacco Regulation
We are pleased to announce that we have organized a pre-IHEA Congress workshop on Sunday, July 20, 1 – 4:30 p.m.: Building Capacity for Economic Research on Tobacco Regulation in Low- and Middle-Income Countries. The pre-Congress workshops and the Congress will be held in Bali, Indonesia.
In the pre-Congress workshop, we hope that the audience will include a nice mix of researchers from low- and middle-income countries and researchers based in the US and other high-income countries, and that we can have a constructive discussion of the potential and challenges of economic research on tobacco regulation and taxation.
IHEA has opened registration for the pre-Congress sessions. There is no charge for pre-congress sessions for delegates registered for the whole Congress, and priority will be given to fully registered delegates. It will be possible for a few who are not attending the main congress to participate in one or more pre-congress sessions, but they will be required to pay a “one-day pre-congress session” fee (this option will be made available in mid-June).
Please share this invitation with any colleagues whom you think might be interested.
Office Hours:
Professor Kenkel and Professor Mathios are dedicated to providing help to researchers who are focused on the economics of tobacco harm reduction in low and middle-income countries. One way we will do this is to provide weekly office hours.
Our weekly support includes helping researchers develop innovative projects, use state-of-the-art methods (discrete choice experiments, diff-in-diff designs etc.), design their own surveys, use appropriate econometrics to analyze data, conduct focus group research and otherwise provide any advice on developing publishable research in this broad topic area.
We will begin holding office hours every Monday at 7:00 am (Eastern Standard Time North America) beginning January 6th 2025. Most of the time both of us will be on-line though sometimes it will just be either Professor Mathios or Professor Kenkel.
We want to thank Global Action to End Smoking whose grant to Cornell University is supporting this office hour initiative.

Professors Kenkel and Mathios have conducted research on tobacco regulation as Cornell faculty and have a long record of external research funding from the NIH and other sources through the Cornell Office of Sponsored Programs. Please see the acknowledgment footnotes in the research papers for the details.
The team acknowledges past and continuing support through grants to Cornell University from the Global Action to End Smoking. (Global Action), a U.S. nonprofit 501(c) (3) private foundation.
