Dynamic Mergers Effects on R&D Investments and Drug Development Across Research Phases in the Pharmaceutical Industry
Siebert, Ralph - 2020
Pharmaceutical firms spend increasing amounts in mergers and acquisitions (M&As), which raises the question of whether sufficient investment is left after mergers to further develop firms' internal drug development capability. We evaluate the effects of M&As on firms' post-merger R&D investments...

Linguistic Metrics for Patent Disclosure : Evidence from University Versus Corporate Patents
Kong, Nancy; Dulleck, Uwe; sun, shupeng; Vajjala, Sowmya; … - 2021
Encouraging inventors to disclose new inventions is an important economic justification for the patent system, yet the technical information contained in patent applications is often inadequate and unclear. This paper proposes a novel approach to measure disclosure in patent applications using...

Price Regulation and Parallel Imports of Pharmaceuticals
Brekke, Kurt R.; Holmås, Tor Helge; Straume, Odd Rune - 2015
This paper studies the effects of price regulation and parallel imports in the on-patent pharmaceutical market. In a theory model where the producer price is subject to bargaining between the brand-name producer and a distributor, we show that the effects of stricter price regulation crucially...

Patient Mobility, Health Care Quality and Welfare
Brekke, Kurt R.; Levaggi, Rosella; Siciliani, Luigi; … - 2014
Patient mobility is a key issue in the EU who recently passed a new law on patients’ right to EU-wide provider choice. In this paper we use a Hotelling model with two regions that differ in technology to study the impact of patient mobility on health care quality, health care financing and...

Heterogeneous Effects of a Nonlinear Price Schedule for Outpatient Care
Farbmacher, Helmut; Ihle, Peter; Schubert, Ingrid; … - 2013
Theoretical considerations suggest that nonlinear health care price schedules have heterogeneous effects on health care demand. In this paper, we develop and apply a finite mixture bivariate probit model to analyze whether there are heterogeneous reactions to the introduction of a nonlinear...

Using Fees to Reduce Bed-Blocking: A Game between Hospitals and Care Providers
Kverndokk, Snorre; Melberg, Hans Olav - 2016
The Coordination Reform was introduced in Norway in 2012 including a fee for bed-blocking in hospitals. To study this, we introduce a Stackelberg game where the hospital is the leader and the care institution is the follower. The reform does not necessarily lead to less bed-blocking as this...

Battling antibiotic resistance: can machine learning improve prescribing?
Ribers, Michael Allan; Ullrich, Hannes - 2019
Antibiotic resistance constitutes a major health threat. Predicting bacterial causes of infections is key to reducing antibiotic misuse, a leading driver of antibiotic resistance. We train a machine learning algorithm on administrative and microbiological laboratory data from Denmark to predict...

Dynamic hospital competition under rationing by waiting times
Sá, Luís; Siciliani, Luigi; Straume, Odd Rune - 2019
We develop a dynamic model of hospital competition where (i) waiting times increase if demand exceeds supply; (ii) patients choose a hospital based in part on waiting times; and (iii) hospitals incur waiting time penalties. We show that, whereas policies based on penalties will lead to lower...
