Society Research

Dr. Simmons presents some of the problems and reactions within the FDA's Division of Drug Advertising regarding drug promotional activities. These include consumer labelling of over-the-counter and prescription drugs, the issue of monitoring the activities of drug detail men and reviewing advertising claims and campaigns. One of the problems in monitoring drug advertising is due to the division of responsibility between the FDA and FTC. Outlining their distinct functions, it is pointed out that more and more these two agencies are collaborating to bring some measure of unity and decisive action in this area. While drug advertising appears to have a profound effect upon the increased use of drugs, particularly psychotropic agents within our society, research is needed to substantiate this hypothesis.

The last decades witnessed the increasing importance of econometric methods and empirical research in economics. The success of the empirical turn in economics depends on the formats and problems of communication between theory and empirics. The paper considers potential difficulties in communication "from the theory to empirical research" and "from empirical research to theory". It analyzes the role of informal consensus as an instrument facilitating such communication and potential impact of this consensus on the direction of research.
