Aveiro: PEJ MEETING, 2011.18 p.http://hdl.handle.net/10400.14/21183We 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.
