Unlabelled: The main goal of the paper is to analyse one-dimensional, isolated impact of particular variables which are used in the literature as explanatory variables for risk premium following fiscal tensions. Using Student's t-tests, supplemented with ANOVA analysis, we study about a hundred likely determinants of the risk premium in 22 OECD countries over 1978-2017. We find that for deeper falls in the risk premium following fiscal tensions, the size of fiscal adjustments matters more than their composition. That said, expenditure-based fiscal adjustments are more effective in lowering the risk premium than tax-based ones. Fiscal adjustments can outweigh the effects of global risk aversion. Otherwise its low level or decline is needed for deep falls in the risk premium, suggesting there are time-breaks in relations between the risk premium and other factors. Supply-side reforms, especially of the labour market, are of help. The risk premium often responds to their very announcements, indicating that fiscal tensions do not necessarily delay payoffs from reform efforts. That said, our results are only of qualitative nature and do not warrant any conclusions as to mechanisms or causality.

This study aimed to compare reimbursement prices for new, innovative non-orphan drugs in Germany based on price negotiation and cost-effectiveness analysis, using the efficiency frontier (EF) approach and cost-utility analysis (CUA). For the EF, the next effective intervention and no intervention were used as comparators. Three pairwise comparisons were conducted: negotiation vs EF, CUA vs EF and negotiation vs CUA.

Snake venom, a complex mixture of proteins, has attracted human attention for centuries due to its associated mortality, morbidity and other therapeutic properties. In sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), where snakebites pose a significant health risk, understanding the genetic variability of snake venoms is crucial for developing effective antivenoms. The wide geographic distribution of venomous snake species in SSA countries demonstrates the need to develop specific and broad antivenoms.

We present an interactive risk ladder, developed specifically for this study, to 1218 respondents in a national web-based contingent valuation survey to elicit their perceived risks from the exposure to PM and PM with and without the use of high-functioning air purifiers (i.e.

Introduction: This study analyzed the health and economic impact of the 21-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (V116) and the 20-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV20), as well as their relative cost-effectiveness, in Japanese adults aged 65 years using a delta pricing approach.
Methods: A Markov model was employed to simulate the movement of the Japanese population among four health states: healthy, pneumococcal disease (consisting of invasive pneumococcal disease [IPD] with or without meningitis and non-bacteremic pneumococcal pneumonia [NBPP]), post-meningitis sequelae, and death. The model was populated with publicly available demographic and epidemiologic data, stratified by risk level.
