African Cigarette Prices 2016-2024 - Africa

Abstract
---------------------------

The Data was collected by the Research Unit on the Economics of Excisable Products at the University of Cape Town. The project collects prices of cigarettes sold at retail outlets and from street vendors in a number of African countries. The aim is to create a retail cigarette price dataset to enable researchers to make estimations about price differences in these countries, between brands, in urban and rural settlements, and over time.

Geographic coverage
---------------------------

The countries included in the study are: Botswana, Cameroon, Chad, Eswatini, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Lesotho, Madagascar, Malawi, Mauritius, Mozambique, Namibia, Nigeria, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. Not all countries are covered in all rounds.

Data collected by REEP was in excel format and not serialised. Datafirst has serialised and cleaned the data to create a research-ready series. Appending the rounds required harmonising variable names. The brand names (eg Marborough) and sub-brands (eg gold) required significant cleaning due to typos and errors in data collection. Some observations with bad values were dropped from the final dataset. DataFirst has merged the data from all rounds.

{'Abstract': '本数据集由开普敦大学征收产品经济学研究小组收集而成。该项目旨在收集非洲多个国家零售商店及街头小贩销售的香烟价格，旨在构建一个零售香烟价格数据集，以便研究者能够对这些国家间的价格差异进行评估，包括不同品牌、城乡差异以及时间变化等方面。', 'Geographic coverage': '本研究涉及的非洲国家包括：博茨瓦纳、喀麦隆、乍得、斯威士兰、埃塞俄比亚、加纳、肯尼亚、莱索托、马达加斯加、马拉维、毛里求斯、莫桑比克、纳米比亚、尼日利亚、南非、坦桑尼亚、乌干达、赞比亚和津巴布韦。并非所有国家在所有调查轮次中均有涵盖。', 'Analysis unit': '其他', 'Universe': '本项研究涵盖了所选非洲国家零售商（包括街头小贩）销售的香烟价格。', 'Kind of data': '其他', 'Mode of data collection': '移动电话', 'Cleaning operations': 'REEP收集的数据以Excel格式呈现，未经序列化。Datafirst对数据进行序列化处理并进行了清洗，以创建一个可用于研究的系列数据。合并各轮次数据时需要对变量名称进行统一。由于数据收集过程中存在拼写错误和错误，品牌名称（例如：Marborough）和子品牌名称（例如：gold）需要进行大量清洗。一些含有不良值的观测数据被从最终数据集中删除。DataFirst已合并所有轮次的数据。'}
