employment in Vietnam.
Design/methodology/approach– The authors used micro-simulation techniques proposed by Walbeeck
(2010). Bothnationaldata(fromInput–OutputTable)andhouseholddata(VietnamHouseholdLivingStandard
Survey) were utilized.

on both national output and employment. The tobacco industry would not be significantly affected due to its
small contribution to national economy and employment. More importantly, money released from reduced
tobacco consumption would be reallocated to other goods and services, and thus outputs and jobs in
nontobacco sectors would increase.

data, especially Input–Output Table as well as household living standard survey.
Practicalimplications– Thisstudyconcludedthatgovernmentshouldincreasetaxoncigarette alongwitha
well-planned roadmap to avoid unexpected consequences on income and employment of laborers in this sector.
Originality/value– This study replicated a popular approach in order to verify an important government
policy (i.e. effect of tax on tobacco on output and employment) under Vietnamese context.
