The Impact of a Sweetened Beverage Tax on Beverage Volume Sold in Cook County, Illinois, and Its Border Area.

Cross-border shopping was limited to tax avoidance and did not extend to untaxed beverages. Primary Funding Source: Bloomberg Philanthropies. PMID: 32092766 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
