Abstract
AbstractThis paper evaluates the effectiveness of restrictions on sugar‐sweetened beverages (SSBs) in schools as a policy approach aimed at reversing the upward trend in obesity among adolescents. Specifically, we test if the implementation of SB 965 in California high schools led to detectable compensation effects outside of school by estimating changes in soda purchases observed in store‐level scanner data. Our unique data and identification strategy address data limitations of previously published studies, and our reported results strengthen the notion that preferences for unhealthy foods will persist even after their availability is restricted in select environments.
