| Inhalt |
The aim of the course is to provide students with a robust understanding of specific issues in the market for pharmaceuticals. Students will be asked to read and summarize empirical research in order to answer real policy questions (problem-based learning). The topics covered in the course include pricing and price regulation, generic drugs, and the promotion of pharmaceuticals. |
| Lernziele |
The students are able to
(a) effectively read, summarize, present, and discuss empirical research,
(b) critically assess caveats in empirical papers and derive questions for future research, and
(c) apply the knowledge acquired during the course on real policy questions. |
| Voraussetzungen |
Bachelor’s degree. The students are expected to have a good knowledge of microeconomics and econometrics. The prior attendance of the lecture “The Economics of Pharmaceutical Markets” is an asset, but not a strict requirement (if there are too many students who would like to participate, priority will be given to students who successfully attended the lecture). |
