Abstract

This paper investigates the effect of (potential) market size on entry of new drugs and pharmaceutical innovation. Focusing on exogenous changes driven by U.

These effects are generally robust to controlling for a variety of supply-side factors and changes in the technology of pharmaceutical research.
