Filippini, Massimo Masiero, Giuliano Moschetti, Karine 2007 We model demand for different classes of antibiotics used for respiratory infections in outpatient care using a linear approximate almost ideal demand system approach. We compute elasticities to socioeconomic determinants of consumption and own- and cross- price elasticities between different groups of antibiotics. We find significant elasticities between newer/more expensive generations and older/less expensive generations of antibiotics. The larger use of more expensive antibiotics is also associated with the self-dispensing status of practices, ceteris paribus. application/pdf https://localhost:5000/ark:/12658/srd1318122 https://susi.usi.ch/global/documents/318122 https://susi.usi.ch/documents/318122/files/wp0701.pdf eng info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/ark/12658/srd1318122 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess License undefined Antibiotic use Demand equations Demand elasticities Almost Ideal Model Self-dispensing info:eu-repo/classification/udc/33 Characteristics of demand for antibiotics in primary care : an almost ideal demand system approach http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_816b
