Scale, Scope and Spillovers: The Determinants of Research Productivity in Ethical Drug Discovery

by Rebecca Henderson and Iain Cockburn

This groundbreaking study examines the factors that determine the success of research in the pharmaceutical industry. Using data from a comprehensive survey of drug discovery projects, the authors identify the key drivers of research productivity, including scale, scope, and knowledge spillovers. They also explore the role of public policy in promoting innovation and improving the efficiency of the drug discovery process. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the economics of innovation and the future of the pharmaceutical industry.
