    Samenvatting

    Investigated the influence of advertising on primary demand for cigarettes by employing annual, bimonthly, and monthly observations of the West German cigarette market in 1961–1965 and 1971–1975. Independent of the level of temporal aggregation, advertising was found to have a statistically significant impact on industry sales, although the influence diminished over time. This contradicts the findings of J. J. Lambin's (1976) study, which supported the assumption of reciprocal cancellation of brand advertising in saturated markets. With respect to the problem of temporal aggregation, the results confirm the empirical and theoretical findings of D. G. Clarke (1976) and F. M. Bass and R. P. Leone (1983).
