Abstract

This paper investigates the effects of soft drink bans in schools on purchases outside of schools. Using unique household-level data, we exploit the implementation of a state-mandated ban on soft drinks in Connecticut (USA) in a triple difference approach. We compare soft drink purchases of households with school-age children before and after implementation with purchases of households without school-age children in Connecticut, as well as households with and without school-age children in other states. Our analysis does not support the notion that school-age children compensate for the limited availability at school with increased consumption at home. , Oxford University Press.
