美国研究生申请：墨西哥对含糖饮料的双倍税收
正如文章“墨西哥被敦促对含糖饮料征收双倍的税收”所述，在税收翻番的推动下，一场旨在减少肥胖和增加收入的运动已经展开。调查发现，墨西哥在三年前为抗击糖尿病和肥胖症的流行，对含糖饮料加征10%的附加费。世界卫生组织建议，对含糖饮料增税对减少儿童肥胖至关重要。英国医学杂志的一项研究表明，在征税的第一年，墨西哥的碳酸饮料消费量下降(Bloom, 2014)。欧洲监测组织的数据显示，2015年墨西哥人平均消费132.9升含糖饮料，2013年为139.4升。另一方面，虽然智利也提高了税收，但前一年的人均摄入量似乎保持稳定，为140.4升。
尽管墨西哥各地的瓶装水销量都在增长，但许多公共供水设施都不受信任，墨西哥各州的大部分人口对碳酸饮料的水合作用都是唯一可靠的。含糖饮料可以归为普通商品。然而，普通商品也有几个类别，其中一个类别是缺点商品。不好的一面是对公众的健康没有好处，但是公众对产品的这些负面特性缺乏意识。人们往往对消费糖所涉及的个人成本缺乏认识(Bloom, 2014)。从另一种意义上说，人们往往意识到糖的负面影响，但由于其上瘾的性质，最终却很难减少糖的摄入量。对糖和相关产品缺乏认识是未能提供可能影响提高税收效力的信息的明显证据。

As provided in the article “Mexico urged to double tax on sugary drinks”, a campaign has been held for cutting obesity and raising revenue under the urge of doubling the tax. Mexico was found placing a surcharge of 10 per cent on sugary beverages prior three years for combatting the epidemic of diabetes and obesity. It has been recommended by the World Health Organization that increased tax on sugary beverages is crucial for the reduction of obesity during childhood. It had been depicted by a research of British Medical Journal that the consumption of fizzy drinks across Mexico dropped in the initial year of taxation (Bloom, 2014). The data of Euro-monitor provided evidence that the people of Mexico, on an average, consumed 132.9 litres of sugary beverage in the year 2015 when compared to 139.4 litres in the year 2013. On the other hand, while taxes were also raised in Chile, the intake appeared to maintain steadiness 140.4 litres per capita in the previous year.
Even though there has been a growth in the sale of bottled water across Mexico where a number of public supplies are distrusted, a large population of Mexico states to be exclusive reliability upon carbonated drinks for the purpose of hydration. Sugary beverages can be classified as normal goods. However, normal goods have several categories as well and one such category is a demerit good. A demerit good is that good which is not beneficial for the health of the public but the public lacks awareness of these negative traits of the product. People tend to be lacking awareness about the personal costs involved in the consumption of sugar (Bloom, 2014). In the alternate sense, individuals tend to have awareness about the negative effects of sugar but end up struggling a lot for reducing consumption due to its qualities of addiction. The absence of awareness regarding sugar and related products is a clear evidence for the failure in providing information that may affect the effectiveness delivered in increasing the taxes.
