The barplot is wrong, the numbers are correct. Looks like they had a dummy plot and never updated it, only the numbers to prevent leaking? Screenshot of the blog plot: https://imgur.com/a/HAxIIdC

They claim it thinks the "perfect amount" but there is no perfect amount. It all depends on willingness to pay, latency tolerance, etc.

Too many reasons for a reply here, but overall the common theme is lack of regulation giving pharma more power to play on their patent-derived monopolies. As for Switzerland, it's a small country with an economic model that doesn'

Thanks for reminding me of that, it's been a while since I read Varian's Micro textbook. There are lots of ways for Coase to break down. Lack of clear property rights, transaction costs etc

Glad to see someone with economics knowledge! The best taxes are Pigouvian taxes on externalities. They not only raise revenue but distort the market in the right direction. Carbon tax comes to mind (though that's a tricky case as ther

For drugs that are monopolies, tariffs actually don't impact the end price and hit the producer. In the short term, for drugs that are already on the market. In the long run, it reduces incentives to develop drugs. Tariffs are a tax on
