Uppsatsen behandlar hur konsumtionen av läkemedel påverkas av patientavgifter för läkemedel. Närmare undersöks om det finns olika effekter i olika samhällsgrupper och hur dessa kan förklaras. Empiriska studier från Sverige, USA och Storbritannien används för att besvara frågeställningarna. Den teoretiska bakgrunden presenterar individens nytta av hälsa och hur hälsa produceras. Vidare är individen begränsad av tid och pengar i sin konsumtion och påverkas av moral hazard och asymmetrisk information. Slutsatsen blir att patientavgiften påverkar konsumtion och priselasticiteten varierar från –0,09 till –0,37. Olika grupper i samhället påverkas i olika utsträckning och personer med svag hälsa, låg utbildningsnivå och dålig ekonomi reagerar i större utsträckning mot förändringar i patientavgiften. Det finns en risk att man genom ökade patientavgifter inte uppnår en effektiv konsumtion utan istället får en försämrad hälsa vilket leder till ökade kostnader för samhället.Date

Growth Poles and MultipolarityAdams-Kane, Jonathon; Lim, Jamus Jerome (2012-03-19)This paper develops an empirical measure
 of growth poles and uses it to examine the phenomenon of
 multipolarity. The authors formally define several
 alternative measures, provide theoretical justifications for
 these measures, and compute polarity values for nation
 states in the global economy. The calculations suggest that
 China, Western Europe, and the United States have been
 important growth poles over the broad course of world
 history, and in modern economic history the United States,
 Japan, Germany, and China have had prominent periods of
 growth polarity. The paper goes on to analyze the economic
 and institutional determinants, both at the proximate and
 fundamental level, that underlie this measure of polarity,
 as well as compute measures of dispersion in growth polarity
 shares for the major growth poles.

Leadership and Growth : Commission on Growth and DevelopmentBrady, David; Spence, Michael (World Bank, 2012-03-19)In May 2008, the commission on growth and development (the growth commission) issued its report entitled 'the growth report'. In it the commission attempted to distill what had been learned in the past two decades, from experience and academic and policy research, about strategies and policies that produced sustained high growth in developing countries. It became clear in the course of the work that politics, leadership, and political economy (the interaction of economic and political forces and choices) were centrally important ingredients in the story. Dealing with the politics and the interaction of political and economic forces is a work in progress in research, an important one. Given this breadth, one of the editors' roles is to focus the reader's attention on what they take to be common issues across these chapters. These common problems are fourfold: (1) promoting national unity; (2) building good, solid institutions; (3) choosing innovative and localized policies; and (4) creating political consensus for long-run policy implementation. This report represent an excellent first step toward understanding the role of leadership in generating economic growth, and the author hope that they generate ideas and lead to new research on the problem of leadership in economic growth.
