73. A U.S. Antitrust Agenda for the Dominant Information Platforms.

BAKER, DONALD I. and COMANOR, WILLIAM S.

Abstract

A basic economic difference between information and transaction platforms may help explain why the antitrust focus can be quite different between the different types of platforms: (1) a market-making transaction platform (e.g., one dealing with securities or local real estate listings) is most effective when all "buy" and "sell" bids can be combined on the single platform, while (2) having alternative sources of information is a generally desirable goal in a market served by information platforms. 10 A memorable example is found in the FTC's Supreme Court victory in FTC v. Superior Court Trial Lawyers Association, 493 U.S. 411 (1990), where the alleged victim was a city government whose political leaders had supported the lawyers' "strike" that was the focus of the FTC's case. Since the 1980s, the FTC and DOJ have continued to weigh potential consumer effects in making their prose-cutorial choices (which helps explain why government monopsony-related prosecutions have been so rare). GOOGLE, FACEBOOK, AND THEother prominent information platforms have served consumers well. [Extracted from the article]

74. U.S. Pharmaceutical Markets: Expenditures, Health Insurance, New Products and Generic Prescribing from 1960 to 2016.

Abstract

Between 1960 and 2016 per capita expenditures on retail pharmaceuticals increased from $85.12 to $922.50 in 2009 prices, while the share of spending covered by insurance programs grew to 86%. The introduction of new molecular entities followed only a weak upward trend. Following passage of the Hatch Waxman Act in 1984, the share of retail prescriptions dispensed as generics has expanded from 19% to almost 90%. By employing a three-equation Vector Auto-Regressive (VAR) model and Granger causality, this paper assesses empirically the interdependence among these variables. Our most important finding is that increases in insurance coverage on pharmaceuticals contributed significantly to the spending growth, which in turn led to further insurance expansion. In addition, introduction of new drugs also has contributed to enhanced insurance coverage. While the expansion of generic prescribing has had a strong negative effect on spending, this effect has been largely offset by rapid increases in coverage. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

79. Mergers and Innovation in the Pharmaceutical Market

Author

Scherer, Frederic Michael and Comanor, William S.

Abstract

The U.S. pharmaceutical industry has experienced in recent years two dramatic changes: stagnation in the growth of new molecular entities approved for marketing, and a wave of mergers linking inter alia some of the largest companies. This paper explores possible links between these two phenomena and proposes alternative approach to merger policy. It points to the high degree of uncertainty encountered in the discovery and development of new pharmaceutical entities and shows how optimal strategies entail the pursue of parallel research and development paths. Uncertainties afflict both success rates and financial gains contingent upon success. A new model simulating optimal strategies given prevalent market uncertainties is presented. Parallelism can be sustained both within individual companies’ R&D programs and across competing companies. The paper points to data showing little parallelism of programs within companies and argues that inter-company mergers jeopardize desirable parallelism across companies.

88. The Impact of Income and Family Structure on Delinquency

Abstract

There is no more important issue in the economics of the family than the impact of parents on the behavior of their children. By providing rewards and imposing constraints, parents seek to affect their children’s behavior. The explanation of these actions is that the child’s conduct directly enters into the parent’s utility function. In this paper, we use that framework to explore the role of parental control over his or her child’s delinquent behavior. Using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, we estimate the impact of family income and various dimensions of family structure on a youth’s contact with the criminal justice system between the ages of 14 and 22. From this analysis, we conclude that the single most important factor affecting these measures of delinquency is the presence of his father in the home. All other factors, including family income, are much less important.
