Abstract(s)
We build on the analysis of Rodrigues et al. (2011) and look at the market impact of pseudo-
generics under two possible reimbursement mechanisms: reference pricing and xed percentage
reimbursement. Reference pricing emerges as a preferable reimbursement mechanism, both from
a consumer s perspective as well as from a welfare perspective, particularly when a pseudo-
generic is present.
