When judging the distributional impact of unhealthy food taxes, what matters is not just how much low income people would pay but how much the such taxes would benefit or harm them overall. In this paper, we assess the consumer welfare impact of a fat tax net of its expected benefits computed as savings from weight loss. Using Italian data, we estimate a censored Exact Affine Stone Index (EASI) incomplete demand system for food groups, simulating changes in purchases, calorie intake, consumer welfare, and the monetary value of short-run health benefits.

Immune checkpoint therapies have spearheaded drug innovation over the last decade, propelling cancer treatments toward a new era of precision therapies. Nonetheless, the challenges of low response rates and prevalent drug resistance underscore the imperative for a deeper understanding of the tumor microenvironment (TME) and the pursuit of novel targets. Recent findings have revealed the profound impacts of biomechanical forces within the tumor microenvironment on immune surveillance and tumor progression in both murine models and clinical settings.

This study examines how Climate-Related Financial Policies (CRFPs) support decarbonization and renewable energy transitions across 87 countries from 2000 to 2023. Using the Policy Sequencing Score (PSS) and a bindingness-weighted adoption indicator, it explores the relationships between CRFPs, CO2 emissions, and Renewable Energy Production (REP) across diverse economic and institutional contexts. Findings reveal significant variation in outcomes.
