| Abstract: | This paper examines the impact of user fees on the speed of new-drug review and on the responsiveness of FDA reviewers to pharamceutical firms. User fees are expected to alter FDA behavior and responsiveness to pharamceutical firms because they give regulators a financial incentive to process more new-drug applications and because they convey information to regulators that may reduce type I error. The analysis examines the variation in FDA review times for new drugs approved between 1990 and 1995 as a function of differences that exist among firms and drugs. |
