摘要 Abstract of the paper	The co-existence of external referencing pricing (ERP) and reimbursement policy is common in many countries. Thus, this research examines the presence of reimbursement policy and whether the imposition of ERP is socially desirable. For a direct sales channel, we find that social welfare is worse-off under ERP if the copayment rate is too high. Our main insights are robust under an indirect sales channel. Moreover, a pharmacy-purchasing-price (PPP) ERP might result in larger social welfare versus an ex-factory-price (EFP) ERP if the home copayment rate is high enough. Finally, the indirect sales channel offers higher profit for a brand-name firm if the home copayment rate is too high.
