Utilize Gini coefficient to anticipate price movement and drug shortages

Borrowing a concept from econometrics called the Gini coefficient you can gain deep insights into price and price movement by looking at how concentrated versus widely available a given drug is across manufacturers.

  • Evaluate changes in the Gini coefficient to understand changes in drug availability in specific manufacturers in a drug group and anticipate or explain pricing movement.

  • Identify drugs changing from single source to multi-source or vice-versa to anticipate product demand and impacts on products changing from brand to generic products.
