Applied Microeconomics
The Applied Microeconomics research group unites researchers working on a broad array of topics within such areas as labour economics, economics of education, health economics, family economics, urban economics, environmental economics, and the economics of science and innovation. The group operates in close collaboration with the CAGE Research Centre.
The group participates in the CAGE seminar on Applied Economics, which runs weekly on Tuesdays at 2:15pm. Students and faculty members of the group present their ongoing work in two brown bag seminars, held weekly on Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 1pm. Students, in collaboration with faculty members, also organise a bi-weekly reading group in applied econometrics on Thursdays at 1pm. The group organises numerous events throughout the year, including the Research Away Day and several thematic workshops.

CAGE-AMES Workshop - Daniel Diez AlonsoS2.79Title: Sugar Tax pass-through in the UK鈥檚 online market Abstract: The UK introduced the Sugar Levy (sugar tax) in April 2018. Using web-scraped daily prices from Amazon for non-alcoholic drinks sold in the UK, I explore the pass-through of such tax in online market prices of soft drinks. While Dubois et al. (2019) predicted total pass-through of the sugar tax in the UK for off-line prices using scanner data, I find that pass-through was only partial in the case of online markets. I also analyse the heterogeneity between types of seller and I find that third-party sellers take some additional months to charge the tax to consumers, and its pass-through is smaller in magnitude compared to Amazon as direct seller. |
