    The overconsumption of sugar is a significant problem in many jurisdictions, and one possible method to remedy this problem is the taxation of sugarsweetened beverages (SSBs). To be able to implement an optimal tax, it is important to know the preferences and price sensitivity of consumers. This article therefore estimates the price elasticity of demand for different beverages in Quebec, using the Berry, Levinsohn and Pakes (BLP) random parameter logistic demand model, combined with Nielsen data from 2010 to 2016 and the 2016 Canadian Census. The results suggest that the average consumer prefers high-calorie beverages containing fruits and vegetables, and the estimated price elasticities are between -4.40 (energy drinks) and -1.59 (regular soft drinks). As a result, consumers of energy drinks appear to reduce their consumption the most in the face of rising prices, whereas consumers of soft drinks will decrease their consumption the least. However, at a general level, the implementation of a tax on SSBs in Quebec should generate a significant reduction in consumption.

    This study analyzes the recent trajectory and regional characteristics of electricity consumption among low-income families in Brazil, using data from beneficiaries of the Tarifa Social de Energia Elétrica (TSEE) program. It also seeks to assess the impacts of restrictive measures and regulatory changes implemented throughout 2020 to contain the pandemic on the behavior of residential electricity consumers in Brazil. The paper presents a new methodology for evaluating the economic impacts of the TSEE based on detailing the program's data at the regional level, as well as simulating changes in the electricity consumption of the program's beneficiaries in response to changes in the price of the public service offered. Evidence was found that the recent rise in electricity supply costs (notably from 2014 onwards) produced significant and differentiated negative effects for the country's regions, increasing inequalities in access to electricity and in the amount consumed. by low-income households in the country. In turn, the federal government's financial aid measures for low-income families in the period considered most critical for coping with the covid-19 pandemic, in the second half of 2020, do not seem to have produced major impacts in terms of changing their pattern of energy consumption, as well as on the regional discrepancies already observed in the low-income consumer market in Brazil.
