Abstract

In the previous chapter, we examine the limitations in the design of the 2013 DPCO. It is reasonable to expect that pharmaceutical firms likely to be affected by the regulation undertook actions to mitigate their impact. Because of such strategic actions, regulations, despite being well-intentioned, can sometimes make matters worse (Noll 1989). Have the 2013 DPCO regulations made consumers worse-off than they were before? In this chapter, we examine some of the strategies firms used to mitigate the impact of price controls. We are aware of more strategies than we discuss below. Documenting the larger set of firm strategies is part of our ongoing research agenda.
