摘要

2021年，联合国发展政策委员会通过了一项决议，孟加拉国将在5年后脱离最不发达国家地位。这意味着，到2026年，孟加拉国将不得不放弃对世界贸易组织（WTO）知识产权条款的豁免。孟加拉国利用其在最不发达国家豁免下获得的政策空间，建立了一个不仅为孟加拉国服务，也为其他最不发达发展中国家服务的仿制药行业。我们研究了世贸组织的知识产权条款将如何影响孟加拉国的胰岛素价格，以及随后对福利和贫困的影响。我们发现，最不发达国家的毕业将引发胰岛素价格的大幅上涨，这可能导致孟加拉国有一名或多名糖尿病患者的家庭福利下降约15%，增加这些家庭的贫困率，除非进行政策调整。

The Social Costs of Success: The Impact of World Trade Organization Rules on Insulin Prices in Bangladesh upon Graduation from Least Developed Country Status

In 2021, the United Nations Committee on Development Policy adopted a resolution that Bangladesh would graduate from least developed country (LDC) status after a period of 5 years. This means that in 2026 Bangladesh would have to forego its exemption to intellectual property (IP) provisions of the World Trade Organization (WTO). Bangladesh has taken advantage of the policy space it was granted under the LDC exemption to build a generic medicines industry that not only serves Bangladesh but also other LDCs. We examine how IP provisions in the WTO will impact the price of insulin in Bangladesh and the subsequent impacts on welfare and poverty. We find that LDC graduation will trigger a significant jump in insulin prices that could cause about a 15% decline in the welfare of households in Bangladesh with one or more members living with diabetes, increasing the poverty rate of such households unless policy adjustments are carried out.
