We estimate hedonic price indexes for clinical trial research, an important component of biomedical R&D, using a large sample of agreements between trial sponsors and clinical investigators obtained from Medidata Solutions Worldwide Inc. Nominal prices measured as total grant cost per patient...

We examine six molecules facing initial loss of US exclusivity (LOE, from patent expiration or challenges) between June 2009 and May 2013 that were among the 50 most prescribed molecules in May 2013. We examine prices per day of therapy (from the perspective of average revenue received by retail...

We begin by documenting trends in the changing geographical location of clinical trials for new medicines since 2002, away from Western Europe and Canada, and towards Eastern Europe, Latin America and Asia. We then develop a framework for modeling the factors affecting the globalization of...
