    Law and Economics in the RIA World

    Improving the use of economic analysis in public policy and legislation

In the US and the EU, hundreds of RIAs are produced every year to justify public intervention in the form of regulation. But reality shows that in many other countries the adoption and implementation of this tool has been patchy at best.

    Competition and Innovation in the EU Regulation of Pharmaceuticals

    The Case of Parallel Trade
    Book | 1st edition 2010 | Europe | Claudia Desogus
    This book deals with parallel trade of pharmaceuticals from a Law & Economics perspective. In recent judgments (Bayer, Glaxo and Syfait), EU Courts questioned some of the legal principles underpinning the EU policy on parallel trade in the field of pharmaceuticals. Through the analysis of the impact that parallel trade of pharmaceuticals has on consumer welfare, both in a static and in a dynamic sense, this work examines whether the current legal approach to parallel trade of pharmaceuticals reflects the findings of economic theory, whether it should change, and, if so, on what basis this adjustment should take place.
