Sommario/riassunto

Medical products have dramatically revolutionized how diseases are treated or prevented. At the same time, inappropriate use of these products is associated with increased incidence of adverse reactions. This problem is acute in resource-limited countries in the absence of adequate monitoring systems. This book examines and highlights the critical role and need for pharmacovigilance systems in these settings. Issues unique to these countries are explored, including medical product safety and quality problems; the nature of support needed to build pharmacovigilance system capacity to effective levels; global and regional strategies and efforts to develop institutional and professional capacity; the challenges being faced and how these are being tackled. This book is a must-read resource for anyone involved in the provision of safe, and quality medical products; and its rational use. “This book is unique in its focus on pharmacovigilance in resource-limited countries.” Hubert G Leufkens, PhD, FISPE, Professor of Pharmaceutical Policy and Regulatory Science, Utrecht Institute for Pharmaceutical Sciences (UIPS), Former Head of the Dutch regulatory agency (MEB), The Netherlands “I foresee this collection will become a very useful reference for everyone working or supporting the development of pharmacovigilance in countries with limited resources.” Adel Al-Harf, Ph.D., Vice President of the Drug Sector, Saudi Food and Drug Authority (SFDA), Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Dr. Ahmad is a drug safety consultant who served the U.S. FDA for 15 years.

Sommario/riassunto

This paper analyzes how fiscal and monetary policy typically respond during downturns in G7 countries. It evaluates whether discretionary fiscal responses to downturns are timely and temporary, and compares the response of fiscal policy to that of monetary policy. The results suggest that while responding more weakly and less quickly than monetary policy, discretionary fiscal policy is more timely than conventional wisdom would suggest, particularly in “Anglo-Saxon” countries, but the response differs substantially across fiscal instruments. Both fiscal and monetary policy are found to be subject to an easing bias, with more easing during downturns than tightening during upturns; and liable to easing in response to erroneously perceived downturns, many of which are subsequently revised to expansions.
