An industry levy on soft drinks in the UK led firms to reformulate their products, reducing sugar content and potentially altering other unobserved characteristics, such as taste. I study the impact of this reformulation on product entry and exit, accounting for the endogeneity due to the correlation between observed and unobserved characteristics.
