A comparison of available resources and production shows that Germany, ranked second in resources, was ranked first in production in 1990. Indeed a number of central and eastern European countries are producing proved recoverable reserves at a rate that should lead to exhaustion of local deposits before the end of the twenty-first century. On the other hand, the massive Russian reserves could allow production for a much longer time.

Zotepine has been used in Japan and Germany for many years, but has only recently been marketed in the UK. Zotepine is referred to in two pharmacoeconomic publications (Byrom et al, 1998a, b), but no relevant data are provided. Two evaluations are apparently awaiting publication (Knoll, personal communication, 2001) one a 6-month comparison of zotepine and one a health-care model of outcomes associated with the use of zotepine and haloperidol.

Method The authors use information on all non-hospital sales of pharmaceutical products in 1992 in a sample of countries consisting of the USA, Canada, Germany, France, Italy, Japan and the UK. The database was provided by Intercontinental Medical Systems (IMS). The empirical analysis is based on the calculation of the Paasche and Laspeyres price indexes and the ratio between them. The descriptive analysis is completed with the econometric analysis (quasi-hedonic model) of the determining factors of the variation in the relative prices of each active ingredient in each country taking the USA as the point of comparison. 

Although this measure was first introduced in Germany in 1989, constraints on public drag spending and the creation of incentives for cheaper alternatives are not new to cost containment policies, especially in public health systems. Several forms of public financing of pharmaceuticals based on comparison (yardstick competition) have been used in some countries by public and private insurers. Public financing mechanisms that pursue a similar strategy to that of RP include the maximum allowable cost (MAC) applied by the...

For comparison, the average gasoline price in 2006 was 14.5 ct/kWh with and 4.1 ct/kWh without taxes (in Germany (MWV, 2006)). The price of hydrogen from surplus wind electricity is thus more than double the price of gasoline (assuming that... 

In the scope of this case study, alternative storage options for surplus wind electricity production in the region of north-western Germany are analysed. One assumption is that today s limited grid capacity could be extended only by a certain amount. The comparison of the storage option is based on economic and ecological criteria. 

Two studies conducted between November 2000 and November 2001 in the neighbouring countries of The Netherlands (five locations at the rivers Rhine and Meuse) [13] and Germany (21 rivers and streams belonging to the river Rhine catchment area in Hesse) [14] allow for some comparison to be made. Dissolved aqueous concentrations... 

As World War II approached, Germany and the USSR worked frantically to be free from outside need of rubber. The United States by comparison were conducting research in a number of areas that would eventually prove useful, but had made no real push for...
