非洲卷烟价格项目是一个收集非洲国家烟草价格的项目。在其他事情中,这些数据使用户能够估计不同品牌的价格差异,城乡分界线,包装类型,零售类型,以及价格随时间的趋势。在项目的前十二轮(从2016年到2022年每两年收集一次)中,共收集了215354个个人价格。数据收集工作至今仍在继续。数据来自19个非洲国家,大部分数据来自南非,津巴布韦,莱索托,纳米比亚和博茨瓦纳。其他国家包括埃塞俄比亚,马拉维,坦桑尼亚,乍得,埃斯瓦蒂尼,莫桑比克,尼日利亚,赞比亚,加纳,马达加斯加,肯尼亚,毛里求斯,乌干达和喀麦隆。该项目采用了一种新颖的数据收集方法,通过与当地和国际开普敦大学(UCT)的学生签约,作为实地考察人员,在大学长假期间在家收集价格数据。数据是在零售级别收集的;公共使用数据集中可用的最低地理细节级别是郊区。虽然价格数据不具有全国代表性,数据收集方法简单且经济实惠,并提供了相应国家/地区的价格范围和品牌。虽然香烟价格构成了大部分数据,其他常见的烟草产品包括水烟烟草,鼻烟,烟斗烟草,雪茄,电子烟,手卷烟草,和其他人。这些其他烟草产品的收集始于第4轮(2017年)。
The African Cigarette Price Project is a project that collects tobacco
prices from African countries. Amongst other things, the data enable users to estimate price differences across brands, urban/rural divides, types of packaging, retail types, and trends in price over time. A total of 215 354 individual
prices were collected during the first twelve rounds of the project (collected biannually from 2016 to 2022). Data collection continues to date. Data have been collected from 19 African countries, with most data from South Africa, Zimbabwe, Lesotho, Namibia and Botswana. Other countries include Ethiopia, Malawi, Tanzania, Chad, Eswatini, Mozambique, Nigeria, Zambia, Ghana, Madagascar, Kenya, Mauritius, Uganda and Cameroon. The project employs a novel data collection approach, by contracting local and international University of Cape Town (UCT) students as fieldworkers to collect price data while at home over the long university vacation. The data were collected at the retail level; the lowest level of geographic detail available in the public use dataset is the suburb. While the price data are not nationally representative, the data collection method is simple and affordable and provides an indication of the range of
prices and the brands available in the respective countries. While cigarette
prices make up the bulk of the data, other common tobacco products included are hookah tobacco, snuff, pipe tobacco, cigars, e-cigarettes, hand-rolled tobacco, and others. The collection of these other tobacco products started in round 4 (2017).
