Public Lecture - Health Economics | 19 May - 4:30 PM | Mendel Museum´s Augustinian Abbey Refectory at Mendel Square | Pierre Dubois | Personal website | Toulouse School of Economics
Pharmaceutical Regulation and Incentives for Innovation in an International Perspective
This lecture examines pharmaceutical regulation and the incentives for innovation from an international perspective, highlighting the public good nature of health care innovation and its cross-border diffusion. It summarizes empirical evidence on how push and pull incentives shape R&D investment, innovation, and global access. It emphasizes the role of strategic interdependencies and spillovers, including free riding in R&D financing, learning-by-doing effects, drug shortages, reference pricing, and parallel trade. We then provide new evidence on the international spillovers of pull incentives on innovation showing that international cooperation and innovative institutions are necessary to better align national regulations with the global objective of sustaining pharmaceutical innovation.
Before the lecture, there will be small refreshments at 4:00 pm. During this time, you can discuss with each other and meet the speaker.

Role of and opportunities for nudges in managing chronic disease
This talk explores how implementation science and behavioral nudges can drive the successful design, adoption, and impact of digital health interventions for chronic disease management. Using the pediatric obesity pandemic as a focal point, we examine a novel eHealth solution launched within a major US safety-net hospital system for families with children ages 6–12 diagnosed with overweight or obesity. Key theoretical frameworks and evidence-based practices will be introduced alongside practical methodological considerations. The case study invites the audience to critically engage with real-world challenges—highlighting how behavioral insights, technology, and context-sensitive methods intersect to shape research outcomes, patient care experiences, and broader societal wellbeing. Participants will gain actionable strategies for integrating behavioral economics and scientific rigor into digital health, with lessons applicable to business, marketing, and health innovation. This event is both online and in person. Join the Teams meeting
