美国消费者人均医药收入比欧洲人多。这导致了一些美国人。S.政策制定者呼吁限制美国的出口。S.药品价格和价格。本文运用微观模拟的方法,分析了降低美国国债利率的福利影响。S.价格接近欧洲水平,以及这些影响如何随关键建模假设而变化。在对他们最有利的假设下,价格控制产生的好处不大(每人几千美元)。然而,对于其余的合理假设,价格控制产生的成本要高出一个数量级。相比之下,在不影响制造商价格的情况下为降低消费者价格提供公共资金,几乎在所有可能的情况下都能带来好处。[Health Affairs 28,no. 1(2009):w138-w150(2008年12月16日在线发布; 10.1377/hlthaff.28.1.w138)]
U.S. consumers generate more pharmaceutical revenue per person than Europeans do. This has led some U. S. policymakers to call for limits on U. S. pharmaceutical spending and prices. Using a microsimulation approach, we analyze the welfare impacts of lowering U. S. prices toward European levels, and how these impacts vary with key modeling assumptions. Under the assumptions most favorable to them, price controls generate modest benefits ( a few thousand dollars per person). However, for the remainder of plausible assumptions, price controls generate costs that are an order of magnitude higher. In contrast, publicly financing reductions in consumer prices, without affecting manufacturer prices, delivers benefits in virtually all plausible cases.
