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
(c) derive questions for future research |

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). |
