Income tobacco effect
Findings on how demand for cigarettes changes as consumers’ income increases are inconsistent. The
estimated coefficient of the income variable in most studies of demand for cigarettes is significant and
positive, implying that cigarettes are “normal” goods and that increasing income would have a positive
effect on demand for cigarettes.
However, a number of studies (e.g., Wasserman et al., 1991, Keeler et
al., 1993, Yurekli and Zhang, 2000), particularly those using cross-sectional survey data also found
that income has either an insignificant effect or negative effect on demand for cigarettes. A metaanalysis
by Andrews and Franke (1991) who used results from 48 studies found that the weighted
mean income elasticity is 0.36, which is significantly greater than zero. They also found that the
income elasticity for cigarettes fell over time.

Imperial Tobacco Plans to Cut thousand Jobs in Europe
Imperial Tobacco Group Plc, Europe's second-largest publicly traded cigarette maker, plans to cut 2,440 European jobs after buying Altadis SA for 12.6 billion euros ($20 billion) earlier this year.
Six of 58 factories will shut as staff numbers fall by about 6 percent, Imperial said today. The plants slated for closure are located in its hometown of Bristol, England, as well as Spain, France, Germany and Slovakia. The maker of Davidoff cigarettes fell 3.3 percent in London trading as the plan failed to persuade some analysts to lift their savings estimates.
Western European tobacco companies have eliminated jobs as governments restrict smoking and advertisements. Gareth Davis, Imperial's chief executive officer since the company was spun off from Hanson Plc in 1996, has beat cost-savings goals consistently since the cigarette maker bought German rival Reemtsma in 2002 and then cut 4.4 percent of its jobs.
Expectations for today's announcement ``got carried away,'' wrote Jonathan Leinster, an analyst at UBS in London, who repeated his ``sell'' rating on the stock today. He left his savings estimates unchanged and said he's ``not satisfied'' with expense reduction related to the Altadis merger.
Almost half of the job cuts, or 1,060 positions, will take place in France, equating to almost a quarter of Imperial's local payroll. The company stuck to forecasts for expenses of 600 million euros for the reductions and plant closings and annual cost savings of 400 million euros by the year through September 2012.
Shares Retreat
Imperial fell 64 pence to 1,879 pence in London trading. The stock has declined 20 percent in 2008 after rising more than sixfold in the prior eight years.
The cigarette maker will need to negotiate with unions over the job cuts and gain approval from the French and Spanish governments. Plans to reduce payrolls have sparked strikes this year by French workers from hospital staff to employees of newspaper Le Monde.
``They're brutally tearing the company apart,'' Jorge Tome, a representative of Spain's Comisiones Obreras union, said in an e-mailed statement. ``Once again they're showing that the only thing that counts is profit and not a social commitment.''
The takeover of Madrid-based Altadis added about 27,000 employees to Imperial's work force. The Iberian company, which was formed when Spain and France merged their tobacco monopolies in 1999, makes cigarettes under brands including Gauloises and Gitanes and also is the world's largest cigar manufacturer.
