An Econometric Model of the Tobacco Industry [PDF]

The Review of Economics and Statistics, 1969
N thi's paper we describe an econometric model of the American tobacco industry for the period 1949 through 1966. The model contains 19 equations and is divided into three major blocks (1) leaf production, (2) leaf price, and (3) cigarettes. The objective is to explain the behavior of the tobacco industry over an 18-year period.

Extracellular Vesicular Delta‐Like Ligand 3 and Subtype Transcription Factors for Small Cell Lung Cancer Diagnosis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) harbors high molecular heterogeneity. Using a new liquid biopsy assay, SCLC subtypes can be identified by measuring mRNA of subtype transcription factors (ASCL1, POU2F3, and NEUROD1) in exosome‐rich extracellular vesicles. Combining with Delta‐like ligand 3 (DLL3) mRNA in exosomes and its membrane protein in extracellular ...

SmokEng: Towards Fine-grained Classification of Tobacco-related Social Media Text [PDF]

, 2019
Contemporary datasets on tobacco consumption focus on one of two topics, either public health mentions and disease surveillance, or sentiment analysis on topical tobacco products and services. However, two primary considerations are not accounted for, the language of the demographic affected and a combination of the topics mentioned above in a fine ...

The influence of societal individualism on a century of tobacco use: modelling the prevalence of smoking [PDF]

BMC Public Health 15 (1280), 1-13 (2015), 2014
Smoking of tobacco is predicted to cause approximately six million deaths worldwide in 2014. Responding effectively to this epidemic requires a thorough understanding of how smoking behaviour is transmitted and modified. Here, we present a new mathematical model of the social dynamics that cause cigarette smoking to spread in a population.

How to Beat Science and Influence People: Policy Makers and Propaganda in Epistemic Networks [PDF]

arXiv, 2018
In their recent book Merchants of Doubt [New York:Bloomsbury 2010], Naomi Oreskes and Erik Conway describe the "tobacco strategy", which was used by the tobacco industry to influence policy makers regarding the health risks of tobacco products. The strategy involved two parts, consisting of (1) promoting and sharing independent research supporting the ...
