''The role of the government's participation constraint in the relationship between the price of the medicine and the patients' co-payment''
( 2021, Vol. 41 No.3 )
 
 
In the paper the relationship between the price of the drug set by the monopolist and the level of the patients' co-payment is reconsidered. I highlight the role of the government's participation constraint when studying this correspondence. I provide an alternative explanation for why the price of the pharmaceutical can be an increasing function of the level of the patients' co-payment.
 
 
Keywords: price of the pharmaceutical, co-payment, participation constraint of the payer
