Professor Pertile's research interests span public economics with a strong emphasis on health economics. His work examines the relationship between regulation and innovation in healthcare technologies, optimal investment decisions under uncertainty, and the economics of pharmaceutical markets. He also investigates the economic implications of public policy programs regarding equity and efficiency across generations using life-cycle perspectives. His research employs quantitative methods including microeconomic modeling, applied microeconomics, and innovation analysis.
Analysis of Professor Pertile's recent publications reveals a strong focus on pharmaceutical regulation, pricing policies, and health technology assessment. His work consistently addresses the tension between promoting innovation in pharmaceutical markets while ensuring equitable access to medicines. The research demonstrates sophisticated application of microeconomic theory to complex healthcare policy questions, with particular attention to international spillovers in pricing regulations, orphan drug legislation effects, and dynamic contracting models for health services. His methodological approach often combines theoretical modeling with empirical analysis of real-world policy implementations.
