The evaluation assesses the effects the reference price system is expected to have on the pharmaceutical markets. The effects of the reference price system is evaluated with the help of experiences of the generic substitution and the effects of reference price systems in other countries. A framework is designed for the analysis to help in evaluating also the impact of other different kinds of reforms on the pharmaceutical markets, prices, and expenditure.
