In this Week in Insights I looked at an Australian sugary drinks tax through a fiscal policy lens:
“A recent study out of Australia, in collaboration with Deakin University and the University of Melbourne, found that a 20% tax on sugary drinks had a 10-year $63.5 million return on investment for Australian society writ large. The savings come in the form of reduced dental decay and a decrease in life years lost to premature death or disability.”
