I propose to study the impact of contracting arrangements in healthcare markets (in single-payer or multi-payer health systems) on innovation in health technologies. Specifically, I am interested in how contracting arrangements between the NHS and the pharmaceutical sector impact incentives to innovate welfare-enhancing medicines. In general, I am interested in the industrial organistaion of the pharmaceutical sector.1. What effect do the current contracting arrangements have on R&D incentives at a product level?2. Are there contracting/insurance arrangements that can optimize R&D incentives to develop welfare-enhancing technologies that are cost-effective?3. How does the patent system impact incentives to innovate in the pharmaceutical sector, and how does it influence the industrial organization/market structure of the sector?4. What is the impact of marketing/advertising in pharmaceuticals on consumer welfare? Does the choice distorting impact of advertising offset the information value in pharmaceutical markets?

我建议研究医疗保健市场（在单一付款人或多付款人卫生系统中）的承包安排对卫生技术创新的影响。具体来说，我对NHS和制药部门之间的合同安排如何影响创新福利增强药物的激励感兴趣。总的来说，我对制药行业的产业组织感兴趣。现行契约安排对产品层面的研发激励有何影响？是否有合同/保险安排可以优化研发激励，以开发具有成本效益的提高福利的技术？3 .专利制度如何影响医药行业的创新激励？专利制度如何影响医药行业的产业组织/市场结构？药品营销/广告对消费者福利的影响是什么？广告的选择扭曲影响是否抵消了医药市场的信息价值？
