Faculty in Cornell's Department of Policy Analysis and Management apply theories and methods from economics, sociology, government, demography, statistics and psychology to analyze public policy impacts on society, markets, individuals and families. The program on Consumers, Pharmaceutical Policy and Health promotes research, education and the development of research capacity in selected areas of pharmaceutical policy. The primary research focus of the program is on the causes, consequences and performance of public policies toward the pharmaceuticals industry, with particular emphasis on the interaction of public policies and private decisions for health and consumer well-being.
