SUMMARY:Natalia Serna\, Stanford University\, "Segmentation in Pharmaceutical Markets: Evidence from Contraceptives"
DESCRIPTION:Natalia Serna (Stanford University)\nBiography: Natalia Serna\, PhD\, is an Assistant Professor of Health Policy at Stanford University. Her research studies how insurer and provider competition shapes health plan design and patient health outcomes\, using tools from industrial organization and causal inference. One strand of her work examines provider network design\, insurer-provider contracting\, and the government regulation of insurers; a second explores how competition affects patient outcomes like mortality\, fertility\, and breast cancer screening. \nSegmentation in Pharmaceutical Markets: Evidence from Contraceptives\nAbstract: Pharmaceutical markets are often divided between over-the-counter (OTC) and health insurance segments. This paper shows that segmentation of this kind dampens pharmaceutical demand by softening product competition and raising prices relative to a pooled market\, an effect amplified by information frictions about drug quality. Our setting is the hormonal contraceptive market in Colombia\, where a price ceiling policy generates variation that allows us to separately identify price sensitivity\, preferences for quality\, and information frictions. Using a structural model\, we find that when product variety is held fixed\, moving to an OTC-only market would raise contraceptive demand by 8% and reduce fertility by 0.7 births per woman. However\, when manufacturers eliminate redundant products\, moving to an OTC-only market would reduce demand by 2% and raise fertility by 0.2 births per woman.  Effects are qualitatively similar when moving to an insurance-only market.

SUMMARY:Emily Smith-Greenaway\, USC\, "Despair of deaths? Exploring the childhood cost of early adult mortality"
DESCRIPTION:Emily Smith-Greenaway (USC)\n\n\n\nEmily Smith-Greenaway is Dean’s Professor of Sociology and Professor of Spatial Sciences at the University of Southern California. Her research seeks to infuse social-psychological perspectives into demography to advance how we quantify and theorize key population processes and how we study them in cause and consequence. Much of her work focuses on studying the levels\, patterning\, and consequences of bereavement. Her work has been funded by the National Science Foundation and the National Institutes of Health and has appeared in demography\, sociology\, and general science journals including Annual Review of Sociology\, Demography\, Population and Development Review\, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences\, and Social Forces.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Despair of deaths? Exploring the childhood cost of early adult mortality\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe United States has experienced worsening mortality trends in recent years\, principally due to the rise in midlife mortality. Middle-aged adults are often the parents of dependent-aged children\, raising questions about the consequences that these early adulthood deaths portend for the next generation. In this talk\, I present findings from a series of papers studying the levels and consequences of parental death using Future of Families and Child Wellbeing Study data—a study featuring an urban sample of racial and ethnic minorities disproportionately born to unmarried parents. By exploring the linkages between parental death and outcomes across various life domains\, the results offer a comprehensive assessment of the potential for parental death to be a cause\, not only a consequence\, of despair.
