@article{ Borrell2007, title = {Pricing and Patents of HIV/AIDS Drugs in Developing Countries}, author = {Borrell, Joan-Ramon}, journal = {Applied Economics}, number = {4}, pages = {505-518}, volume = {39}, year = {2007}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1080/00036840500438954}, urn = {https://nbn-resolving.org/urn:nbn:de:0168-ssoar-239489}, abstract = {This paper provides empirical evidence on the impact of patents on drug prices across developing countries. It uses sales data on HIV/AIDS drugs in a sample of 34 low and middle-income countries between 1995 and mid-2000. The main findings are that patents do shift drug prices up, that drug prices are correlated to per capita income levels, and that drug firms follow a skimming strategy when pricing new HIV/AIDS drugs. That is, there is across country and intertemporal price discrimination in the global drug markets.}, }
