| Tiivistelmä: | The author examines the link between potential patient out-of-pocket expenses and pharmaceutucal pricing using a unique policy experiment from Germany. Using a product-level panel dataset covering several therapeutic categories, the author finds that producers significantly decrease prices after the change in potential patient out-of-pocket expenses. Price declines are most pronounced for brand-name products. Moreover, branded products that face more generic competitors reduce prices more. |
