Simon, about 2-3 years ago the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturer's
Association of America (PhRMA) did commission some work on the costs of
drug development and drug approval in the U.S. Also, Tufts University
Center for Drug Development has published a lot of work on the economics
of drug development and drug approval. Joe Dimasi at Tufts is an
economist and has some excellent publications. Check these web pages
